H.264/H.265 encoding using Jetson Nano GPU

[mdegans]

can we assume the dedicated HW encoder/decoder is faster than GPU/CUDA?

It’s dedicated hardware, so whether not it’s “faster” or not, it allows you to do other things with the GPU/CPU at the same time. It’s better, for sure. AFAIK ffmpeg decode is supported on the nano, but not encode, and you have to add these apt repos to your lists:

The NVIDIA ffmpeg package supports hardware-accelerated decode on Jetson platforms

Hi, You can get source code by executing: $ echo "deb https://repo.download.nvidia.com/jetson/ffmpeg main main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list $ echo "deb-src https://repo.download.nvidia.com/jetson/ffmpeg main main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list $ sudo apt update $ apt source ffmpeg Please give it a try.
