Newer versions of the nvenc hardware support The High 444 Predictive profile of H.264, and can also do lossless encoding under this profile if desired. This change introduces support for the profile, and exposes the appropriate presets for requesting lossless encoding. I tested lossless by generating a baseline sample with testsrc converted to raw yuv444p, then encoded the sample with nvenc, then did a framemd5 comparision of both the raw video and the nvenc encode. The framemd5 reports were identical. Signed-off-by: Philip Langdale <philipl@overt.org> Signed-off-by: Timo Rothenpieler <timo@rothenpieler.org>
