I am looking into options for command line video processing tools for Linux, but I am having a hard time find any. FFmpeg doesn't support hardware acceleration as far as I can tell and I don't see many alternatives.

The machines that will be running the software are running CentOS and each has a NVIDIA Tesla card available. While the CentOS can be swapped with something else (not Windows), it would be great to have something that supports CUDA or OpenCL.

I don't have any strict requirements for what actually needs to be processed, but I just want to see what options are available for this hardware.

  • See [this question](http://stackoverflow.com/q/5554933/492336), they mention VDPAU accelerated codecs for unix. – sashoalm Aug 08 '12 at 14:03

Actually, now that I looked into it, ffmpeg has support for VDPAU, which is the API for using NVIDIA cards to decoding/encoding video, but ffmpeg supports it for playback only.

The --enable-vdpau configure option is autodetected so it is not a requirement to add to ./configure.
