minus-squareGolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up5·4 months agoSo it’s definitely not a codec.
minus-squarewewbull@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down1·4 months agoA codec is a module that encodes and decodes (COder/DECoder…CoDec) information into a format. That format might be H.264 or VP9 or whatever. So yes. NvEnc is a codec, or at least, it is when partnered with the hardware decoding also. It’s a codec for multiple formats.
