Andrew, are you saying that nv-codec-headers at 10.0.26.0
in the current CinGG work with your GT710? and that the
newest 12.2.72.0 does not? If so, then maybe we should not
upgrade. When I look at the support matrix (url below) it
does not mention the GT710.
Do not worry, I only used proprietary driver from live dvd to
see if nvenc ever work at all. I normally use built-in nouveau,
even if it does not support encoding block on any hw.
Do not consider my oddball machine support as showstopper - I
definitely can roll my own build ;)
https://gssparks.github.io/post/can-a-geforce-gt710-nvenc/
yeah, gt710 is sort of two-cards-under-same-name, mine is
Kepler based so it worked ....
A side comment:
Before I rebuilt my legacy SM workstation, I replaced a GT730
with GTX960 on the MSI mobo (from my upgraded Chieftec workstation)
https://www.asus.com/motherboards-components/graphics-cards/asus/gt730-sl-2gd3-brk-evo/
And then, about 6 months ago, I had the following drivers for GT
730 enabled on Leap15.5 and Slowroll respectively:
Device-1: NVIDIA GK208B [GeForce GT 730] driver: nvidia v:
470.256.02
isn't 470 < 550 ?
Clearly, yes.
Just to verify by searching for gt730 (or gt710), GF 700 series, GF730,
Linux 64-bit :
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/
Driver Version:470.256.02
Release Date:Tue Jun 04, 2024
If Linux 32-bit ARM:
Driver Version:390.157
Release Date:Tue Nov 22, 2022
The opensuse SDB:NVIDIA lists the following driver series for
different NV devices/families
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers#Determination_of_driver_version
Note: NVIDIA driver versions are mapped to the following naming
convention listed below. You will need this information when you are
ready to install via commandline/zypper.
* G03 = driver v340 = legacy driver (via a community user
<https://software.opensuse.org/search?baseproject=ALL&q=g03>)
* G04 = driver v390 = legacy driver (Fermi devices)
* G05 = driver v470 = driver for Kepler devices
* G06 = driver v550 = driver for Maxwell, Pascal devices and up
Note: Some OEMs use different chip familys (Kepler, Fermi) for the
same product, as example GeForce 730.
*Warning:* Legacy drivers G03 and G04 won't work with the actual
kernel 6.6.x series. Use free nouveau drivers instead!
But I do not think opening desktop case just for this test actually
good idea ...
do not worry, ff nvidia headers quite small tarball, I always can
fish old one from one of my backups ....
Yeah, I don't use the gt730 anymore, as gtx960 was some more powerful.
Device-1: NVIDIA GK208B [GeForce GT 730] driver: nouveau v:
kernel
https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-and-decode-gpu-support-matrix-new
BUT when I do a compare of the old one we have currently
and the latest at this website:
https://github.com/FFmpeg/nv-codec-headers/releases/tag/n12.2.72.0
I get the following differences which DO NOT say anything
about dropping support for any previous Nvidia graphics boards.
Below list the comparison which shows what was changed from
the older version to the latest
*Bump for (in-dev) 10.0.26.1*

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).

Downloaded latest version of
nv-codec-headers release and built CinGG
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./
/Corresponds to Video Codec SDK
version 12.0.16./
/Minimum required driver versions:/
/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
