FFmpeg Docker container with nvenc support

nvenc-docker is a repository that provides a Docker image for video encoding utilizing NVIDIA's NVENC (NVIDIA Video Encoder) capabilities. It enables hardware-accelerated video encoding using NVIDIA GPUs, resulting in faster video processing.

Features

• Automatic setup of Docker environment with NVIDIA GPU support.
• Integration with GitHub Actions for easy CI/CD workflows.
• Efficient video encoding using NVENC for faster processing.
• Flexibility to customize the encoding parameters and workflow as needed.
• Seamless integration with other GitHub Actions and workflows.

Prerequisites

To use this repository, you need to have the following:

• A machine with an NVIDIA GPU that supports NVENC.
• Docker installed on the machine.
• A GitHub repository with GitHub Actions enabled.
• NVIDIA Docker runtime installed (for GPU support).

Usage

To utilize nvenc-docker, follow these steps:

1. Pull the nvenc-docker image from Docker Hub:

docker pull hiwaymedia/nvenc-docker:latest

2. Run the Docker container with your desired encoding parameters. For example:

docker run --gpus all \
  --volume /path/to/input:/data/input \
  --volume /path/to/output:/data/output \
  hiwaymedia/nvenc-docker:latest \
  ffmpeg -i /data/input/video.mp4 -c:v h264_nvenc -preset fast /data/output/output.mp4

Customize the input and output paths and the encoding command as per your requirements. This example uses ffmpeg with the h264_nvenc codec to encode a video file.

3. Monitor the encoding process and retrieve the encoded video from the output directory.

For more detailed usage examples and additional information, please refer to the documentation.
