[NVENC] Is there any way to externally allocate bitstream buffers?

For input buffers there are two ways of allocating: NvEncCreateInputBuffer or NVEncRegisterResource.

But for output buffers there is only NvCreateBitstreamBuffer.

I’m trying to avoid memcopy on host, I already have shared, pinned and cuda-registred host memory for output of various codecs, I would like to use it with nvenc too.

Other way would be to have the nvenc output to device memory, then I can copy it myself to host.

Is something like that possible?
