Completed Which transcoding option for Nvidia?

[lightsout 156]

Is one of these two options preferred? Does it matter?

Hi, this is actually why we have the easy yes option. Just select yes and we'll pick the best one for the job.

Ok. Do you care to explain what the difference is between the two? I have been trained to distrust the auto feature in most apps. But I guess I should give it a go.

I believe nvdec is the Nvidia proprietary solution while d11va is directx 11 video acceleration, which is a more generic solution, probably not as good. Edited April 30, 2019 by KarlDag

Nvdec is ffmpeg's use of cuda.

Dxva is Microsoft's implementation.

Thanks folks, thats what I thought and why I picked the Nvidia option in the first place.

A note to remember, is that neither one is native cuda decoding. They each have their own way of parsing etc. Native cuda decoding is entirely handled by the hardware, with no involvement from software. But nvdec is supposedly better than native cuda decoding.

Interesting. I checked all boxes for now. Not sure if that's the same as yes.

Most modern Nvidia GPUs support nvdec, some of the older ones, don't.
