And what can i do on Windows to check these capabilities?
Btw the GPU is a Gainward 6 Gb nVidia GTX 980 Ti so i think this should
support the above formats.
If I'm not mistaken then yuv444p is linked to 10-bit depth encoding, which is
only possible on the newer Pascal cards (the 10x0 series). The Video SDK page
only mentions HEVC/H.265, but I believe it also applies to AVC/H.264. See here:
https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-video-codec-sdk
Try using "high" instead of "high444p" for the profile and "nv12" or "yuv420p"
for the pixel format.
If you want best quality for compression then add "-rc vbr_2pass -rc-lookahead
32" to the command line. The encoder cannot actually do two full passes, but it
can look ahead up to 32 frames, which acts as a substitute for 2-pass encoding
and can improve the picture quality a lot especially around I-frames.

Dear All,
Any idea why this encoding doesn't work?
$ ffmpeg -i perspective.mp4 -c:v h264_nvenc -profile:v high444p

Conversion failed!
Surfaces are a reference to the memory buffers used by the encoder. You
can find out about which surfaces your graphics card supports by opening
the Nvidia settings panel, -> "VDPAU Information", -> "Surface Limits".
If your card doesn't support the pixel format or the picture exceeds the
surface limit might this already explain why you get this error message.
Although I would expect to see a different error message...
You can also check with "nvidia-smi" which applications are currently
using your graphics card. Suspended processes, zombie processes or just
multiple processes can also exhaust the amount of available surfaces.
