We need a static lock to protect various NVENC methods in _set_format(). Without this the CPU use increases dramatically on initialisation of the element when there are multiple elements being initialised at the same time. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=759742 |

This plugin is intended for use with NVIDIA hardware. Specifically, the NVENC block available in recent NVIDIA GPU hardware. This is provided by a libnvidia-encode library provided by NVIDIA graphic drivers. Requirements ------------ Cuda > 6.5 NVENC 5.0 See https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-video-codec-sdk for a list of supported GPU's. Building -------- 1. Retrieve the NVENC SDK from https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-video-codec-sdk - http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/nvenc/v5.0/nvenc_5.0.1_sdk.zip 2. unzip this somewhere and retreive or note the location of the nvEncodeAPI.h under nvenc_api-5.0.1/Samples/common/inc/ 3. Retreive a version of cuda from https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads and install somewhere noting the installation prefix (typically /opt/cuda or /usr/local/cuda) 4. Now that the dependencies are sorted, there are a couple of environment variables and/or or configure arguments that are needed to detect the necessary libraries/headers. More information is available from the following locations [1] - https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads [2] - https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-video-codec-sdk
