Beginners Questions • [Software] Do I have to use the multimedia repo to get OBS with NVENC?

Are you talking about deb-multimedia? It is not an official Debian repo. There a many reports of it breaking systems due to incompatible repos and tragic versioning. Do not enable it!

Apparently OBS-Studio uses FFmpeg for encoding and the current version of it and libavcodec support NVENC. See this - https://wiki.debian.org/HardwareVideoAc ... NC.2FNVDEC - and ensure you have the required libnvidia-encode1 package. My Bookworm system reports it is supported for H.264 and HEVC:

Code:

ffmpeg -encoders | grep nv...V....D h264_nvenc           NVIDIA NVENC H.264 encoder (codec h264) V....D hevc_nvenc           NVIDIA NVENC hevc encoder (codec hevc)
I tested it and it works for ffmpeg:

Code:

ffmpeg -i input.mpg -c:v h264_nvenc output.mkv
I didn't find much more specific about OBS support but a couple of posts said if ffmpeg supports it, it should be available in OBS. Possibly it also needs libffmpeg-nvenc-dev headers package as well.
