NVidia dropping CUDA encoding support?

Apparently, according to some users, NVidia has decided to drop CUDA encoding beginning with the 340.52 drivers.

Take a look at these threads:

Only posting this as a heads up in case DG has to make modifications to DGDecNV or people upgrade to the latest drivers and bump into problems.

CUVID decoding is not affected. CUDA postprocessing is not affected. There's no way nVidia could discontinue any of the decoding support.

For encoding, an older API was discontinued and the newer one called NVENC is now the supported way. This will cause some pain for some encoding applications.

There are zero implications for DGDecNV and I am running fine with the 340.52 driver.

Yup, just tested, DGIndexNV and DGSource still work fine.

It still works for me too with the latest driver 347.09 and a 750 ti card.
I did just see this though

and wonder what the future impact might be - it is on the cards that DGIndexNV will be updated to use it ?

There's zero chance DGDecNV will include any encoding support.

Besides, then you'd have to change the name to DGCodecNV, and that's just silly. :lol: ;)
