This plugin is intended for use with NVIDIA hardware. Specifically, the NVENC
block available in recent NVIDIA GPU hardware. This is provided by a
libnvidia-encode library provided by NVIDIA graphic drivers.
Requirements
------------
Cuda > 6.5
NVENC 5.0
See https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-video-codec-sdk for a list of
supported GPU's.
Building
--------
1. Retrieve the NVENC SDK
from https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-video-codec-sdk
- http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/nvenc/v5.0/nvenc_5.0.1_sdk.zip
2. unzip this somewhere and retreive or note the location of the
nvEncodeAPI.h under nvenc_api-5.0.1/Samples/common/inc/
3. Retreive a version of cuda from
https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads and install somewhere noting
the installation prefix (typically /opt/cuda or /usr/local/cuda)
4. Now that the dependencies are sorted, there are a couple of
environment variables and/or or configure arguments that are needed to
detect the necessary libraries/headers.
