its really fast and the performance is great, but its really unfortunate it requires torch>=2.11 Too many NVIDIA libraries are still using 2.10 or an alpha version of 2.11 that doesn't have c++ methods used by torchcodec's underlying C++ code like use_blob and a few others. I had to fall back to ffmpeg-python unfortunately
What version of ffmpeg does this use? Last I tried torch tools used really outdated version of ffmpeg at the time of their release.
For disclosure, I've worked on TorchCodec. I'm happy to answer any questions!
Hi, In the past I have used NVVideoCodec and VPI for gpu accelerated decoding and processing. What would be torchcodec's appeal here? VPI already provides zero-copy interface with pytorch.
Thanks!
the WAV file decoding perf improvement is also very welcome!
