CUDA SDK 2.1/2.2: where is nvcuvid.lib ?! missing file in SDK 2.1/2.2

Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA Programming and Performance

Why nvcuvid.lib (which was in CUDA SDK 2.0) is not featured anymore in SDK 2.1/2.2 ?
I can’t compile my video decoder without this lib…

Plus, why was cudaVideoDecode sample removed from SDK 2.1/2.2 too ?

Is this an oversight or is nvcuvid removed from the spec ? nvcuvid headers and dll are still present in 2.1/2.2…

Will nvcuvid.lib be part of the final Cuda 2.2 release?

I believe this it is due to licensing issues with shipping code that functions as an MPEG decoder. If you are interested in developing video applications using CUDA, please contact NVIDIA developer relations.

I’m also working on a video application, but didn’t start looking at CUDA until Toolkit/SDK 2.1, so never saw the nvcuvid library. Is there a listing of what it includes so that I can see if it’s worth contacting developer relations about getting access to it?

Thanks,

Peter

It basically lets you decode MPEG1/2 and H.264 video streams (using the VP2 hardware) and then process the resulting images using CUDA. It’s currently only supported on Windows XP and Vista.

please fix this

and be supported on win7 now?
