We really need NVENC

[fredd]

On Windows, the difference between the default codec and NVENC is significant, I receive only a minimal frames per second loss with the latter.

It seems like nobody is putting effort on implementing NVENC into OBS for multiple platforms. Apparently it is possible already, but I have tried many combinations of FFmpeg to no avail.

It would be really convenient if a NVENC option would be added, and for a FFmpeg with NVENC repository to be made available. Apparently the most recent versions of FFmpeg already has it included by default.

There is effort being done for this...

And where did you get this idea, exactly?

Yes, we know it has support for that.

Will be coming. I'm going to add FFmpeg h264 encoding, so you'll be able to use all the nice encoders through FFmpeg at some point.

https://obsproject.com/mantis/view.php?id=317 -- added it to the to-do list, for 0.13.0 (though if 0.13.0 ends up taking too long it may end up being delayed to 0.14.0, I don't want a repeat of 0.12.0 where we add too much stuff and it gets too delayed)
