Not yet, there's no encoder support.Vulkan video samples. Contribute to nvpro-samples/vk_video_samples development by creating an account on GitHub.
There are already some basic examples of encoding using VK_VIDEO_ENCODE. Vulkan video intends to do decoding/encoding/transcoding. In fact it supports both Windows and Linux according to what Nvidia claims.

Oh wow! I stand corrected (I totally missed that in the article). But I am genuinely surprised that NVIDIA built support for this into their drivers, even going back all the way to Maxwell.
This is genuinely a step forward into the right direction (a unified video decode and encode path for Linux).

Will that actually be the case? Afaik, the whole reason you can’t ship it is because the license doesn’t carry over to users who buy said GPUs. I don’t see how that would change with this vulkan extension.

Encode-once-serve-many is where AV1 really shines. There it'll save you money because it'll save you bandwidth.
And well, Apple also runs a streaming service.

AV1 is gaining traction, and its support should have been prioritized in Vulkan over h.264 and h.265. I stand by what I wrote earlier. The decision by the Khronos Group to focus on the latter two first was a disgraceful one, and should have received more pushback from the open source community.

Wouldn't focusing on the patent-encumbered stuff first be sort of like Cisco's OpenH264 module for Firefox? Relying on your GPU vendor to buy a decoding license so you don't have to either pay again or futz around with technically-illegal packages on your Fedora?
