Hi,
For using hardware encoder you would need to create NvBuffer and have your data in the buffer. If your buffer in appsink is a GPU-accessible buffers, you may create NvBuffer in appsrc and copy the data through cudaMemcpy. NvBuffer does not support BGR format, so if you get BGR data in appsink, would need to handle format conversion from BGR to RGBA.

Here is an updated appsrc_nvmm sample to apply OpenCV CUDA filter:

// generate input frame data
$ gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc num-buffers=150 ! video/x-raw,width=1920,height=1080,format=RGBA ! filesink location=1080.yuv
// build sample
$ CUDA_VER=10.2 ENABLE_OCV_CUDA=1 make
// run
$ ./appsrc_nvmm
// check a.mkv for the effect
