Video capturing using CUDA.. that sounds a bit odd, doesn't it? Well, the motivation for me was this: Many graphics algorithms I develop rely on GPGPU and the rendering result is first available in a CUDA buffer. Also, video capturing that does not slow down the actual application is not a trivial task, and CUDA offers nicely explicit async transfer modes to batch transfers off the GPU as much in the background as possible.
This can be used in conjunction with an entirely OpenGL engine as well, if you're willing to accept CUDA as the dependency: Simply pass your OpenGL render target into CUDA using the CUDA OpenGL interoperability API, and feed the mapped CUDA buffer as the input to this video capturer. The overhead of mapping the render target in CUDA should be miniscule considering the whole task.
So the key idea is as follows
The video capturer is used like this

Hey, Ville, Still there? I'm still using your cool cudavidcap. Since 2013. Jerome- JBB@JeromeBerryhill.com
Yeah still here. Surprised to see this found use. Cool! :-)- wili
