[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] Multi NVENC Split Frame Encoding in HEVC and AV1

Thu Apr 11 14:58:44 EEST 2024
From: Diego Felix de Souza <ddesouza at nvidia.com>
When Split frame encoding is enabled, each input frame is partitioned into
horizontal strips which are encoded independently and simultaneously by
separate NVENCs, usually resulting in increased encoding speed compared to
single NVENC encoding.
