I am very interested in the MV-HEVC feature, I’ve had a go at rebuilding FFMPEG against Video Codec SDK 13 but this feature still appears to be unsupported. Is FFMPEG new feature support this something Nvidia actively supports, or do you just wait for the FFMPEG community to implement any new features?

Hi @micklj, the patches with MV-HEVC support have already been submitted to FFmpeg here. The FFmpeg community is currently evaluating them. Feel free to try them out. Best regards, Diego

Hi,

We are experiencing problems with split encoding on RTX 5080/5090 when encoding in 444 color format (HEVC). The encoded video is split in half using 2 NVENC engines but the bottom part of the video is not the bottom part of image. Please check the picture below for reference:

Is this a known issue? Works fine with 420 (8 and 10 bit).

Can you provide more details about the repro? We could not reproduce this issue with SDK sample application AppEncCuda using 444 and split encoding on Blackwell GPU.

Hi Mandar,

Are you using NV_ENC_BUFFER_FORMAT_AYUV as input?

For splitEncodeMode we see the problem when using NV_ENC_SPLIT_TWO_FORCED_MODE.

I still have to verify that the problem is not on the decode side (currently using Intel on the client side and NVENC on host side).

Thanks. Able to reproduce this issue and is tracked internally as 5765155.

Hello Mandar or anybody at Nvidia. Do you have any idea when NVDEC will support MV-HEVC? It seems strange that we got encode support before the SDK supports decoding this format. I know the Apple ecosystem and M chips can decode in hardware but I’m not sure if there is a hardware limitation in the Blackwell architecure so we should wait for the 6000 series before we see decode support. Thank you.
