minus-squareboredsquirrel@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·4 months agoNo idea something GPU related I think. But AV1 is the codec, which is free and performant and high resolution.
minus-squaremormund@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months agoIt is literally just Nvidia Encoder. So hardware encoding on Nvidia GPUs. What codes are supported depends on the GPU
minus-squareGolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·4 months agoSo it’s definitely not a codec.
minus-squarewewbull@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months agoA codec is a module that encodes and decodes (COder/DECoder…CoDec) information into a format. That format might be H.264 or VP9 or whatever. So yes. NvEnc is a codec, or at least, it is when partnered with the hardware decoding also. It’s a codec for multiple formats.
