The demand for high-quality video continues to accelerate across industries, powering everything from immersive streaming experiences to remote collaboration, generative AI media tools, and large-scale content delivery.

Behind these experiences is a growing need for video pipelines that are faster, more efficient, and capable of handling increasingly complex formats and workloads. NVIDIA Video Codec SDK helps developers meet that challenge by providing access to GPU-accelerated video encoding and decoding through NVIDIA dedicated hardware video engines.

NVIDIA Video Codec SDK 13.1 is now available. We encourage developers to explore the latest features in their video pipelines, take advantage of the redesigned sample apps, and share feedback via the NVIDIA Developer forums.
