I think it's a good question and I will try to benchmark performance and latency of the nvdec against cuvid for my use case. Are you sure that side data would be natively supported with nvdec? Reading the source code, the only function I saw is ff_decode_frame_props(), which will make the side data not properly sync for my use case. > > I suspect there could be benefits if your workload involves alot of > decoding and the GPU only has a single nvdec unit on it.
