[FFmpeg-user] Issue with hwaccel cuvid

This still produces the same error;
ffmpeg -threads 1 -loglevel verbose -hwaccel cuvid
-hwaccel_output_format cuda -c:v mpeg2_cuvid -extra_hw_frames 3 -i
"l:\welter_originals\gamera the brave\Latatude Zero-trailer.mkv" -c:a copy
-c:v h264_nvenc test.mkv
But this works to complete the job;
ffmpeg -threads 1 -loglevel verbose -hwaccel cuda
-hwaccel_output_format cuda -extra_hw_frames 3 -i
"l:\welter_originals\gamera the brave\Latatude Zero-trailer.mkv" -c:a copy
-c:v h264_nvenc test.mkv
By not specifying -c:v mpeg2_cuvid do we know what decoder is being used?
Is the process still completely in hardware? Do you think this is a
limitation of the cuvid decoder?
Thanks for your help. -Andy
