I have an NVIDIA Corporation GF119 GeForce GT 520 video card in my headless server.

Can this be used to help offload the transcoding?

I have compiled HandBrakeCLI and this error is shown when running the command...

Code: Select all

Cannot load libnvidia-encode.so.1
Cannot load libnvidia-encode.so.1

Thanks,

Paully

Nope, that card can not be used. It doesn't support it.

OK, is that why the error is shown?

...and what's the lowest spec or cheapest Nvidia card that CAN be used for HEVC x265 or x264 transcoding help?

I'll just lift my answer from Github here as well:

Probably something like a GTX1030 would be a good bet.
In theory, as long as you've got an up-to-date Nividia driver running with your kernel it should work.

That said, we've done zero testing of this on Linux and won't be doing so, so your mileage may vary. There is no guarantee it'll work.

OK, so I have invested in a GTX 1050 which will be arriving soon.

If I compile handBrakeCLI by hand, what do I need to make sure I enable or will it just look for the NVidia drivers and suitable card automatically?
