I don’t understand most of the things in the changelog but NVENC support on Linux is a big deal afaik

Isn’t NVENC a hardware thing or a middleman for encoding boost?

No idea something GPU related I think. But AV1 is the codec, which is free and performant and high resolution.

It is literally just Nvidia Encoder. So hardware encoding on Nvidia GPUs. What codes are supported depends on the GPU

So it’s definitely not a codec.

A 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.

A 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.
