cudaH264Enc unable to find nvcuvenc.dll

[chuckieb]

Hello,

I am using the latest x86_64 install of MediaCoder. When I attempt to encode using CUDA I get an error that I need to install the latest NVidia drivers. If I try to execute the encoder manually (./codec/cudaH264Enc64.exe) I get a Windows error "Unable to locate Component" "This application has failed to start because NVCUVENC.DLL was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this issue"

I confirmed that this dll, with the correct driver version, is located in c:\windows\syswow64\

I tried copying the file to system32 and running regsvr32 on it and was given a compatibility error.

Please help me with the next step of troubleshooting this issue. Thanks a bunch. Below is some useful information:

This installation was the full install, and not an update - as I just started using this software a few days ago. I will try fully uninstalling Mediacoder and trying again.

Tried again using the full version 64bit - no luck

Tried again, this time using the 32bit version - and Huzzah - the Cuda encoder works. Looks like it is an issue with the 64bit encoder.
