Deprecation Notices
The support for the following features and functionality in the existing Video Codec SDK(s) are planned to be removed in future. Hence we request and encourage all users of the SDK to take a note of this.
NVENCODE API
- The support for NVENC presets listed below will be removed in future SDK versions.
NV_ENC_PRESET_DEFAULT_GUID
NV_ENC_PRESET_HP_GUID
NV_ENC_PRESET_HQ_GUID
NV_ENC_PRESET_BD_GUID
NV_ENC_PRESET_LOW_LATENCY_DEFAULT_GUID
NV_ENC_PRESET_LOW_LATENCY_HQ_GUID
NV_ENC_PRESET_LOW_LATENCY_HP_GUID
NV_ENC_PRESET_LOSSLESS_DEFAULT_GUID
NV_ENC_PRESET_LOSSLESS_HP_GUID
Users are therefore recommended to move to the new presets. Please note that the sample applications in the SDK illustate the new presets only.
- The support for NVENC rate control modes listed below will be removed in future SDK versions.
NV_ENC_PARAMS_RC_CBR_LOWDELAY_HQ
NV_ENC_PARAMS_RC_CBR_HQ
NV_ENC_PARAMS_RC_VBR_HQ
- Refer to the migration guide for achieving the equivalent functionality for the presets and rate control modes listed above.

CUvideosource
and the associated APIs includingcuvidCreateVideoSource
,cuvidCreateVideoSourceW
,cuvidDestroyVideoSource
,cuvidSetVideoSourceState
