I've did a quick test with h64_nvenc.mp4 and h265_nvenc.mp4
(w/setting format=Not Interlaced)<br>
Both AppImages works with similar fps speeds on my Nvidia GF GTX
960.<br>

Yes, nvenc works (as it correspondingly was expected to do with
onevpl for Intel qsv/hw).<br>

As shown in my previous post, the legacy (2015) NV-GF GTX
960 runs with the following nv driver version on Slowroll:<br>
<blockquote>Graphics:<br>
Device-1: Intel HD Graphics 530 driver: i915 v: kernel<br>
Device-2: NVIDIA GM206 [GeForce GTX 960] driver: nvidia
v: 550.135<br>

download, I can give it a try on my legacy GF GTX 960
SkyLake workstation, to see if your new AppImage (still)
works as previously.<br>
