nvidia-container-runtime - Support for GPU-accelerated Transcoding/Reencoding?

[enema-combatant]

Running latest docker image. The transcoding seems to be CPU-bound, and I'd like to ensure my measly 2080 super can be enlisted in the effort to transcode if possible.

Also - I don't really get the logic behind the transcoding/reencoding feature. Specifically:

• Can we set a target resolution/quality?
• Can we opt to 'just accept' what the content creater has stored in terms of format and quality?

We unfortunately do not have proper resource to test, no current need for our own usage and this is know to be a very complex topic.

Can we set a target resolution/quality?

No, only two presets are available, controllable with --low-quality switch.

Can we opt to 'just accept' what the content creater has stored in terms of format and quality?

Nope
