I have tested this on Bionic Beaver LTS and the results are: ffmpeg -encoders 2>/dev/null | grep nvenc configure options are needed) and nvenc will be successfully built. The nv-codec-headers will be automagically recognised (no extra. Compile FFmpeg on Ubuntu, Debian, or Mint.If however you wish to continue use the following step: If for some reason you change your mind and wish to completely remove the installed files as well as the build directory simply run the following two Terminal commands: sudo rm -v /usr/local/Īnd your system has been cleaned. Mkdir $HOME/nv-codec-headers_build & cd $HOME/nv-codec-headers_build Something like the following Terminal commands should suffice: sudo apt-get install make git At the moment these headers must be installed as well as FFmpeg from git to get access to nvenc and friends. A separate git repository was created to hold continuing work with these headers. Use nv-codec-headers: On February 26th 2018 the NVidia headers were removed from the FFmpeg source.Built into the source: August 27th 2016 saw the required headers incorporated as part of the FFmpeg source, nothing required but the ability to compile the FFmpeg source from git, or use a 'release' version cut from git at this time.Arduous and more than a little confusing.

Roll your own: Pre August 27th 2016 it was necessary to track down your own headers to build nvenc.As always with FFmpeg continuing development shifts the goal posts many times and this is certainly true of nvenc and FFmpeg.
