Yes, you are right that I don't understand the compilation of software 
packages.  That's why I was hoping that someone would be kind enough to explain 
how to solve the problem, even if it's not an ffmpeg issue.
The instruction that I am using to produce a video from images works, it's just 
very slow.

Derek
Please fix your email quoting and send plain text to this list.

It really sounds like you are not familiar with the basic tools used to compile 
& build software packages. I realize that "I'm not an expert on any of this!" 
but you need to do some research about the command line build tools and how to 
use them. This is not an ffmpeg issue.

As I said previously, try first building ffmpeg using the instruction from 
ffmpeg and without nvidia/cuda; only when that works try adding nvidia.

Later,

Thanks for reply

Does that mean installing ubuntu rather than Windows? (which I've never done 
but happy to try!!)

Derek

You could try using Ubuntu Linux. I followed the Nvidia instructions for 
installing acceleration on my GTX 1080 and it worked fine.

Thanks very much for taking the trouble to reply.

 

I'm following the instructions here, Windows section:

https://docs.nvidia.com/video-technologies/video-codec-sdk/ffmpeg-with-nvidia-gpu/

 

What I'm trying to achieve is joining many images together which have been 
produced by a video enhancing program.  The command line is:

ffmpeg -framerate 59.94  -start_number 160004 -i P:\xmas5\%06d.png -c:v libx264 
-preset veryslow -tune film -profile:v high -pix_fmt yuv420p -level 4.1 -crf 17 
-r 59.94 -threads 2 P:\xmaspng_80002-99932_Dione-DVx4_png.mkv

 

Some times it's TIFFs not PNGs.

 

I am hoping that the Nvidia GPU acceleration will speed up what is a very slow 
process.  That's all I want it for, and I'm trying to achieve this on a clean 
install of Windows 10 on a spare disc.  Nvidia RTX 2080Ti.

I've managed to install make (I'm not an expert on any of this!) but now the 
make command produces:

 

C:\Windows\System32\nv-codec-headers>make install PREFIX=/usr

make: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop.

 

The makefile in that directory contains:

 

PREFIX = /usr/local

LIBDIR = lib

INSTALL = install

SED = sed

 

all:

ifeq ($(OS),Windows_NT)

  $(SED) 's#@@PREFIX@@#$(shell cygpath -m ${PREFIX})#' 
ffnvcodec.pc.in > ffnvcodec.pc

else

  $(SED) 's#@@PREFIX@@#$(PREFIX)#' ffnvcodec.pc.in > ffnvcodec.pc

endif

 

install: all

  $(INSTALL) -m 0755 -d '$(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/include/ffnvcodec'

  $(INSTALL) -m 0644 include/ffnvcodec/*.h 
'$(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/include/ffnvcodec'

  $(INSTALL) -m 0755 -d '$(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/$(LIBDIR)/pkgconfig'

  $(INSTALL) -m 0644 ffnvcodec.pc 
'$(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/$(LIBDIR)/pkgconfig'

 

uninstall:

  rm -rf '$(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/include/ffnvcodec' 
'$(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/$(LIBDIR)/pkgconfig/ffnvcodec.pc'

 

.PHONY: all install uninstall

 

The following command from the documentation also fails:

 

C:\FFmpeg>./configure --enable-nonfree -disable-shared --enable-cuda-sdk 
--enable-libnpp --toolchain=msvc --extra-cflags=-I../nv_sdk 
--extra-ldflags=-libpath:../nv_sdk

'.' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

 

But I'm not sure whether this is due to the previous failure.

 

If I'm on the completely wrong track I'm prepared to format the disc and start 
again!  (What a pity there's not an image of Windows all prepared with this and 
ready to go!)

 

Thanks again for taking an interest in my problem - I am a beginner here!

Well install make (nvidia's instructions include that).

 

What's your intended build environment? VisualStudio of msys2/mingw? If mingw, 
did you install the 'c' compiler?

 

The nvidia instructions don't cover installing a heap of things, like the 
compiler and a lot of packages. (They also say "–-toolchain=msvc" even as 
they're giving instructions for mingw, which is suspect (I haven't looked at 
the code yet to see if it matters.)

 

So first, make sure you have a working build environment, that's out the scope 
of this list. Then look at the instructions for building ffmpeg-

 

I use "Option 2: MSYS2" of

 <https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/MinGW> 
https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/MinGW

 

If you're using visual studio, see

 <https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/MSVC> 
https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/MSVC

 

You'll have to manually install any needed packages, usually ./configure will 
tell you when something's missing.

 

Once you can build ffmpeg without cuda, then try building with cuda. And you 
may want to follow up with nvidia if you're using their instructions.

 

Later,

 

z!

[FFmpeg-user] Compiling FFmpeg with Nvidia GPU acceleration

[madderek--- via ffmpeg-user]

Hi

 

 

I'm using Using FFmpeg with NVIDIA GPU Hardware Acceleration :: NVIDIA Video
Codec SDK Documentation
  for Windows 10

 

All goes well until I hit the last three commands:

 

*   Goto nv-codec-headers directory and install ffnvcodec

make install PREFIX=/usr

*   Go to the FFmpeg installation folder and run the following command.

./configure --enable-nonfree -disable-shared --enable-cuda-sdk
--enable-libnpp --toolchain=msvc --extra-cflags=-I../nv_sdk
--extra-ldflags=-libpath:../nv_sdk

*   Compile the code by executing the following command.

make -j 8

 

 

I cannot get the 'make' command to work - I get  'make' is not recognized as
an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file. 

I did try the next command, the ./configure one, this was also rejected.

 

Can anyone please help with this?

 

Derek Clements

What does on 'cuda mean', and how do you do it?

Derek
btw, i really wonder thy why want to bechnmark fflmpeg with your tiffs if your 
"software will output to jpegs" :-) internally ffmpeg with convert your tiffs 
anyway. convert 20s of your tiffs to jpegs (imagemagic batch), leave threads to 
0 and si if ffmpeg will be faster. and next try mjpeg codec on cuda, make .ts 
and then repackage it to mkv, maybe it'll be faster again...

Do you want the actual video file? This will be several GB.  How do I post 
this?  I didn't think it was necessary since I'm only asking if it's possible 
to speed up the process using GPU.  If you do I'll prepare a smaller file.

Sorry, despite investigating I don't understand the top posting.

Hardware acceleration (which is typically provided by third-party
libraries) allows to use GPU resources, ffmpeg itself cannot (and doesn't need 
to) use GPU ram.

[FFmpeg-user] Using GPU with ffmpeg

[madderek--- via ffmpeg-user]

Hi

 

I'm using ffmpeg to combine a large number of TIFF files into a single
video.

 

The TIFFs are the result of upscaling videos.  They are large in number,
typically 2 or 3.

 

The process is slow.

 

Is there a simple way of using the GPU ram?  I have a NVIDIA 2080 TI with
11GBof RAM.
