minus-square@mormund@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglish5•8 months agoIt is literally just Nvidia Encoder. So hardware encoding on Nvidia GPUs. What codes are supported depends on the GPU
minus-square@wewbull@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglish3•8 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.

So it’s definitely not a codec.
