H.264 CUDA Decoder Looking for open source CUDA code

Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA Programming and Performance

I know about the cudaDecodeGL example code in the SDK, but does anyone know of an open source CUDA decoder for H.264 that doesn’t use OpenGL but only CUDA calls?

As far as I know, you can’t use the H.264 hardware decoder without either OpenGL, D3D, or some other similar API.

Is this specific to H.264? It’s entirely possible to use plain-cuvid functionality and display the video with something else, like OpenCV. Or if you wanted, you could just decode the video and write it to file, no OpenGL/D3D/OpenCV/etc required…

OK, disregard my comment above, I think I misread the documentation.
