i cannot figure out how to install the ffmpeg with nvidia cuda compite acceleration. pacman absolutely refuses to remove the default ffmpeg and install the accelerated version.
i tried different solitions found on google, but to no avail.
please tell me the proper steps how to upgrade the ffmpeg with the cuda acccelerated version.
hardware equipped with NVidia Quatro P2200, and doing lot of media encoding, so this will speed up my transcodings and encoding. i have lots of ram to manage my projects - 96 bg, dual x5690 xeon cpus.
What version? You should be installing ffmpeg-cuda available in the AUR (Arch User Repository), not blindly following some garbage blog from an author that has never used Arch or Manjaro.
Why not just use NVENC, which is supported in ffmpeg out of the box? It’s newer, faster, and supports both AVC (h264) and HEVC (h265), and yields just as good quality as CUDA.
Your card supports it (just not B-frames in HEVC videos.)
hello, i did not follow some garbage forum. i am vey happy and very grateful with Manjaro forums, i ask my questions here.
i saw the ff-mpeg cuda in arch user repository. then i read the description in the arch user repository and i made my decision, made on the description, being in AUR, what i do, what i need, and what my hardware is.
the suggested command completed successfully, however i get this error during build up of the cuda accelerated version:
ERROR: failed checking for nvcc.
If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the latest
version from Git. If the latest version fails, report the problem to the ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org mailing list or IRC #ffmpeg on irc.libera.chat.
Include the log file “ffbuild/config.log” produced by configure as this will help
solve the problem.
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
Aborting…
i will try the git, as suggsested, in the meanwhie what is nvcc and how i is installed? Driver? additional package or dependency?
i do a lot of audio recording and audio editing. i would like to have the CUDA accelerated encoding, decoding and transcoding of audio, i do in the process. It will help me a lot.
I am happy to note, everything works fine now. Audacium also works fine. Finally my Quagro P2200 GPU acceleration is used to my advantage, and cuda cores accelerate audio encoding, decoding and transcoding.
Thank you everyone for your help and assistance. greatly appreciated.
