Hey all, I’m new to the Jetson Nano, and actually was attempting to use a Pi 4 to do what I wanted, but after I saw the hardware spec of the Nano, it was clear this was the device I wanted to use. But, for the life of me I can’t figure out how to use FFMPEG with hardware encoding. I’ve tried about…

How do I get FFMPEG to do HW Encoding?
