ffmpeg with cuda support compiled first, ffmpeg with hardware acceleration test OK, tested with following command:

ffmpeg -hwaccel_output_format cuda -vcodec h264_cuvid -i 1.mp4 -vcodec h264_nvenc -gpu 0 -acodec copy -f mp4 -y output.mp4

hardware is NVIDIA Corporation GP104 [GeForce GTX 1070]. I checked that it support hard encode and decode

As head said, I checked that cv::cudacodec::createVideoReader work well, test code as follows:

#include
#include “opencv2/opencv_modules.hpp”
#include

#include
#include <opencv2/core.hpp>
#include <opencv2/core/opengl.hpp>
#include <opencv2/cudacodec.hpp>
#include <opencv2/highgui.hpp>
#include <opencv2/cudawarping.hpp>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
if (argc != 2)
return -1;
// cv::namedWindow(“GPU”, cv::WINDOW_OPENGL);
//cv::cuda::setGlDevice();
cv::cuda::GpuMat d_frame, o_frame;

cv::Ptr<cv::cudacodec::VideoReader> d_reader = cv::cudacodec::createVideoReader(std::string(argv[1]));

cv::cudacodec::FormatInfo fmt = d_reader->format();

std::cout << "hello!" << std::endl;

cv::cuda::printShortCudaDeviceInfo(cv::cuda::getDevice());
cv::Ptr<cv::cudacodec::VideoWriter> d_writer;

// cv::Ptr<cv::cudacodec::VideoWriter> d_writer = cv::cudacodec::createVideoWriter(
//     std::string("tmp.avi"), 
//     cv::Size2i(fmt.width*2, fmt.height*2), 
//     25.0, 
//     cv::cudacodec::SF_UYVY);
    
while (true)
{
    std::cout << "hello, ";
    if (!d_reader->nextFrame(d_frame))
        break;
    cv::cuda::resize(d_frame, o_frame, cv::Size2i(fmt.width*2, fmt.height*2));
    // cv::Mat img;
    // d_frame.download(img);
    // cv::imwrite("out.jpg", img, {cv::ImwriteFlags::IMWRITE_JPEG_QUALITY} );
    if (d_writer.empty()){
        const cv::String outputFilename = "output_gpu.avi";
        // d_writer = cv::cudacodec::createVideoWriter(outputFilename, o_frame.size(), 25.0);
    }
    // d_writer->write(o_frame);
    std::cout << "world!" << std::endl;
}
return 0;

}

Questine: Error raised after uncommented “// d_writer = cv::cudacodec::createVideoWriter(outputFilename, o_frame.size(), 25.0);” , as follow:

help!!! Thanks!!!

I have the same issues like you.
First, you have to install Nvidia Video Codec SDK, your ‘createVideoReader’ works well, I believe you have done it.

And I found reasons from this:

which means the function of createVideoWirter interface in cudacodec sdk possible have been removed after cuda10.0
The only way seems to install cuda 9.X to compiler to use it.
And I’m trying it.

Thanks so much for your help. I’m trying follow your suggest.

How you install Nvidia Video Codec SDK please tell
