I make nvEncodeApp successfully but when I run it my output is like this

NVENC error at src/CNVEncoder.cpp:1282 code=15(NVENC indicates that an invalid struct version was used by the client) "nvStatus" 

SO, I get this error :

NVENC error at src/CNVEncoder.cpp:1282 code=15(NVENC indicates that an invalid struct version was used by the client) "nvStatus"

and this is line 1282 and after in CNVEncoder and nvStatus is a NVENCSTATUS struct :

checkNVENCErrors(nvStatus);

    if (nvStatus == NV_ENC_SUCCESS)
    {
        return S_OK;
    }

What is NVENCSTATUS struct ? how can I find that ?

Answer 1

when you comment the 1208 line and after that compiling it the problem is solved and u can run the sample without any problem , but I don't now how can I overcome this error without commenting it.

  //  checkNVENCErrors(nvStatus);

    if (nvStatus == NV_ENC_SUCCESS)
    {
        return S_OK;
    }

I just did it

Answer 2

This is a known issue and has been updated in the newest NVENC package.

Use the nvidia driver that comes with the samples then you shouldn't have this problem.
