minus-squarewewbull@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·5 months agoA good fast video codec that is free included with some video cards! You’ve certainly paid for it, and it’s focus is on giving acceptable quality at high speed. For example, for streaming.
minus-squareGolfNovemberUniformlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·edit-25 months agoIsn’t NVENC a hardware thing or a middleman for encoding boost?
minus-squaremormund@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·5 months agoIt is literally just Nvidia Encoder. So hardware encoding on Nvidia GPUs. What codes are supported depends on the GPU
minus-squarewewbull@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down1·5 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.
