===Muxing to memory===
===Muxing to memory===
You can specify a custom <code>AVIOContext</code> and attach it to your <code>AVFormatContext->pb</code> to mux directly to memory or to implement your own buffering.

===NVENC===
[https://superuser.com/questions/1296374/best-settings-for-ffmpeg-with-nvenc Options Reference]
When encoding using NVENC, your <code>codec_ctx->priv_data</code> is a pointer to a <code>NvencContext</code>.
To list all of the things you can set in the private data, you can type the following in bash
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
ffmpeg -hide_banner -h encoder=h264_nvenc
</syntaxhighlight>
<syntaxhighlight lang="c++">
  if ((ret = av_hwdevice_ctx_create(&hw_device_ctx, AV_HWDEVICE_TYPE_CUDA, NULL,
                                    NULL, 0)) < 0) {
    cerr << "[VideoEncoder::VideoEncoder] Failed to create hw context" << endl;
    return;
  }
  if (!(codec = avcodec_find_encoder_by_name("h264_nvenc"))) {
    cerr << "[VideoEncoder::VideoEncoder] Failed to find h264_nvenc encoder"
        << endl;
    return;
  }
  codec_ctx = avcodec_alloc_context3(codec);
  codec_ctx->bit_rate = 2500000;
  codec_ctx->width = source_codec_ctx->width;
  codec_ctx->height = source_codec_ctx->height;
  codec_ctx->codec_type = AVMEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO;
  codec_ctx->time_base = source_codec_ctx->time_base;
  input_timebase = source_codec_ctx->time_base;
  codec_ctx->framerate = source_codec_ctx->framerate;
  codec_ctx->pix_fmt = AV_PIX_FMT_CUDA;
  codec_ctx->profile = FF_PROFILE_H264_CONSTRAINED_BASELINE;
  codec_ctx->max_b_frames = 0;
  codec_ctx->delay = 0;
  codec_ctx->gop_size = 0;
// Todo: figure out which ones of these do nothing
