Trying to deinterlace with Bob NVEnc; job crashes

[Selur]

Now, to the part where it seems overcomplicated, in my book. Why should the user specify the decoder from the long list, since there is only one that will work - that being the one made for the specific format used by the input file. So, the way I was thinking was for Hybrid to identify the input format, something it can seemingly already do, and decide which CUVID to use automatically, based on the identified format. Can't such thing be implemented?

So if no CUVID decoder can be used, what then?

But the error says "encoder". CUVID is not an encoder, but a decoder. FFmpeg interprets your command as a request for an encoder named h264_cuvid, respectively mpeg4_cuvid. Those are not encoders, but rather decoders.

I know, question is why doesn't ffmpeg get that it's a decoder?
