I am trying to run the NVENC encoder SDK examples which are able to provide hardware accelerated video encoding.
I am trying to run the nvencoder sample with the dataset I found here: http://www.sunrayimage.com/download/image_examples/yuv420/tulips_yuv420_inter_planar_qcif.yuv
I ran it with the following command line on windows:
NvEncoder.exe -i tulips_yuv420_inter_planar_qcif.yuv -o test.mp4 -size 176 144
The resulting file that is produced cannot really be played by any media player. VLC sort of loads it but does not produce any image that I was expecting.
Looking at the help message, it says:
-o <string> Specify output bitstream file
I wonder if something else has to be done to make sure this file is playable or perhaps I am not using this example correctly? Maybe the bitstream file is not a valid H.264 encoded file?
I have been struggling all day trying to figure this out. Would love some help!
Many thanks!
