nv-video-info

This project provides utilities to print out the capabilities of the NVDEC and NVENC functions in nvidia GPUs.

NVDEC and NVENC

NVDEC and NVENC are nvidia's names for their GPUs dedicated video decoding and encoding functions respectively. These allow, in theory, for video processing to be done more quickly and efficiently than on a CPU.

More details about NVDEC and NVENC are can be found here.

nvdecinfo and nvencinfo

The two utilities provided by this project will print out the capabilities reported by nvidia GPUs. Most, but not all, GPUs have both decoding and encoding functionality.

Requirements

Operating Systems

I developed these utilities on Linux and have only tested them there. I believe it is fairly simple to build them on Windows, and would happily accept any PRs to make that work out-of-the-box.
