Updated nv-codec-headers from 10.0.26.0 to 12.2.72.0 and checked into GIT.  Andrey's builds should be automatically going now for newer O/S package creation.

550.54.14 is "supposedly" the minimum required driver version for Linux according to the README associated with the release.  And this is the same as what was written for the previous version.  So whatever worked before should still work.  The previous information from a forum post said that the minimum nvidia driver is 520-56-06 BUT I have since reread that and determined that that was November 2022 - so out of date.

"Supported Products" for the latest Linux driver v. 550.142 is available here

        Andrew, I am having difficulty interpreting the statement "min
        driver note".  According to:

        
https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/h264-nvenc-the-minimum-required-nvidia-driver-for-nvenc-is-520-56-06-or-newer/233144

        the minimum nvidia driver is 520-56-06.

        Is that what you mean should be included in the release notes?



    I think this is official supported minimum driver version , yes.
    But in slackware for example you can find older nvidia-legacy
    driver I used for my older card.

    Remember, NVIDIA, like all other companies, literally in business
    selling you new hardware! So they "dark pattern" their info for
    'nudging' users into using new hardware .....

                Great so it will be included in the next release.
                Thank you very much.


            Can you also please copypaste min driver notes into our 
            release notes so it will be easier for me to track it in
            case my older gt710 still stuck at older driver version
            (not a blocker, I surely can swap headers back to 2020
            version locally).

            Thanks and sorry for relative inactivity. I hope to pick
            up some steam ..... may he after formal New Year date?

            Have (good) holidays!

                    Here is the AppImage with the latest nvencoders
                    for Nvidia graphics that goes with ffmpeg.
                    
https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/testing/cin-x86_64_nvencupdate.AppImage
                    For comparison, here is the appimage containing
                    the original nvencoders from 2020.
                    
https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/images/CinGG-20241031-x86_64.AppImage

                    I've did a quick test with h64_nvenc.mp4 and
                    h265_nvenc.mp4 (w/setting format=Not Interlaced)
                    Both AppImages works with similar fps speeds on my
                    Nvidia GF GTX 960.


                    I am not sure if encoding with formats
                    h264_nvenc.mp4, h265_nvenc.mp4, or h264_nvenc.qt
                    actually work from an AppImage that was created
                    on a computer that does not have an Nvidea
                    graphics card or its software.  But for some
                    reason, I do not think that that matters and it
                    should work.

                    Yes, nvenc works (as it correspondingly was
                    expected to do with onevpl for  Intel qsv/hw).

                        with it and no problems here. Unfortunately
                        the 4 different computers I attempted to
                        test on did not have the correct Nvidia
                        hardware or software.  Why? I do not know
                        but will try one more later.

                        According to the /Readme
                        /https://github.com/FFmpeg/nv-codec-headers

                            /FFmpeg version of headers required to
                            interface with Nvidias codec APIs./

                            /Linux: 550.54.14 or newer/

                        As shown in my previous post, the legacy
                        (2015) NV-GF GTX 960 runs with the following
                        nv driver version on Slowroll:

                            Graphics:
                              Device-1: Intel HD Graphics 530 driver:
                            i915 v: kernel
                              Device-2: NVIDIA GM206 [GeForce GTX
                            960] driver: nvidia v: 550.135



                        If you want and have a test download, I can
                        give it a try on my legacy GF GTX 960
                        SkyLake workstation, to see if your new
                        AppImage (still) works as previously.

                                Andrew,

                                    most likely our nv headers
                                    drifted from that
                                    ffmpeg-7.0/proprietary driver
                                    assumes at runtime.

                                I have been wondering about
                                nv-codec-headers as we are at:
                                
https://github.com/FFmpeg/nv-codec-headers/releases/tag/n10.0.26.0
                                but I am unsure about updating to:
                                
https://github.com/FFmpeg/nv-codec-headers/releases/tag/n12.2.72.0
                                because if you look at:
                                
https://github.com/FFmpeg/nv-codec-headers/releases/
                                the release versions go from 12.xx
                                to 8.x and it is really weird AND
                                there is no year on the release
                                dates but just day and month.
                                Since it is such an important part
                                of ffmpeg inside CinGG, I am
                                concerned but will at least try the
                                12.2.72.0 just to see what it does.


                            in theory it should give users of new
                            nvidia hardware av1 encoding ...... but
                            not sure how it will work with older
                            drivers and hardware.





                                    you can try to install
                                    something like nv-codec-headers
                                    and then add
