[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] Nvidia NVENC 10-bit HEVC encoding and rate control lookahead support

[Oliver Collyer]

Hi Timo

Well the copyright message at the top of nvEncodeAPI.h in the 7.0 SDK is identical to that for 6.0 so it looks ok in that respect.

I agree it’s an inconvenience to have to register and wait for approval (although mine came immediately and automatically).

Regards

Oliver
