Hi all, I’m still struggling with my Jetson Nano 2GB board. After desisting for now to make OpenCV work with CUDA (will recover this topic in the future), the next thing is to try to get ffmpeg to encode video using the CUDA magic. I’m playiog with this topic with both a VIZI AI board (Atom + Myr…

You may find the following post useful if you are looking for both hardware encoding and decoding in ffmpeg: [image] Hardware decoding in mpv player Jetson Nano I was able to solve this. Before explaining details, I will briefly describe the solution and how to install mpv…

Probably you’re lacking /usr/local/cuda/bin in PATH. Try: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/cuda/bin

Ok, that make it partially. After your suggestion, I have been able to configure, compile and install. I see the nvenc are present in the binary: ffmpeg -encoders | grep nvenc ffmpeg version N-102605-g4c705a2775 Copyright (c) 2000-2021 the FFmpeg developers built with gcc 7 (Ubuntu/Linaro 7.5.0…

With Jetsons, you have dedicated HW encoder/decoder so you wouldn’t use GPU nor nvcuvid for that. There is a NVIDIA jetson version of ffmeg that can be installed through apt. Not sure if recent versions provide more than decoding for H264. I’ve also used jocover’s nvmpi version such as here for ff…

Yes, I’m aware the repository ffmpeg only supports hardware decoding. That’s why I tried to compile my own following the nvidia site instructions

Definetly will look into both alternatives you guys provide. Thank you. Will keep you posted.
