minus-squareGolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up4·edit-24 months agoIsn’t NVENC a hardware thing or a middleman for encoding boost?
minus-squaremormund@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·4 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-up5·4 months agoSo it’s definitely not a codec.
minus-squarewewbulllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down1·4 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.
