From [@lars18th](https://github.com/keylase/nvidia-patch/issues/491)
Here a simple command to check if the patching works:
```
ffmpeg -y -vsync 0 -hwaccel cuda -hwaccel_output_format cuda \
-f lavfi -i testsrc -t 50 \
-vf hwupload -c:a copy -c:v h264_nvenc -b:v 4M -f null - \
-vf hwupload -c:a copy -c:v h264_nvenc -b:v 1M -f null - \
-vf hwupload -c:a copy -c:v h264_nvenc -b:v 8M -f null - \
-vf hwupload -c:a copy -c:v h264_nvenc -b:v 6M -f null -
```
This only requires to have installed a recent ffmpeg version compiled with nvenc enabled. Almost all distributions have it now.
If you get a message like:
```
[h264_nvenc @ 0x55fc31535fc0] OpenEncodeSessionEx failed: out of memory (10): (no details)
Error initializing output stream 3:0 -- Error while opening encoder for output stream #3:0 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height
Conversion failed!
```
Then the patch has failed.
But if the ffmpeg starts to work and shows:
```
frame= 560 fps=329 q=8.0 Lq=8.0 q=8.0 q=8.0 size=N/A time=00:00:22.40 bitrate=N/A speed=13.2x
```
Then... Congratulations! The patch works.
