How to consume NVIDIA Graphics cards via Intel Media SDK for H264 decoding?

[KK]

Hello,

Currently our application is using Intel Media SDK to leverage hardware acceleration of Intel Graphics HD 4600 card.

However some of the existing machines may NOT have latest Intel processor and hence does not support Graphics HD. So our application will not be able to leverage hardware acceleration.

At the same time, there could be chances those machine to have NVIDIA graphics card.

So can we use the same application to leverage hardware acceleration of NVIDIA graphics card via Intel Media SDK?

Is any interoperability supported between NVIDIA graphics card and Intel Media SDK? If yes, can we do H264 decoding with this option?

Please suggest the available options for the above.

Regards,

KK

You cannot use nvidia/amd/... hardware decoding via Intel Media SDK. Try to bring other dxva/dxva2 decoder (ffmpeg, LAV Filters, etc) in your application.

Does not the DXVA support ad the possibility to use other graphic cards. What is the DXVA support otherwise good for?
