Default H264 encode profile?

What’s the default h264 encode profile if we don’t set any value “profileGUID” in NV_ENC_CONFIG?
I can see “profileGUID” in the structure, but in the sdk sample, it doesn’t set any.
Then the encode profile will be set to NV_ENC_CODEC_PROFILE_AUTOSELECT_GUID?

Hi hmGo,

NV_ENC_CODEC_PROFILE_AUTOSELECT_GUID selects the profile based on all other encoding parameters.

Best regards,

What if we don’t set profileGUID in code like sdk sample? What encode profile will be picked up in this case?

Hello hmGo,

I believe it will work similar to AUTOSELECT, but note that I am not an expert on this.

Best,
Tom
