Thank you so much!

We will test this hopefully today, and verify the expected behavior with NSIGHT.

By the way, I'm new to ffmpeg, so... I don't know if you use your fork to test things first, before adding the changes to the main ffmpeg project? Or may we consider to compile and use your fork?

Thanks!

You can find the mentioned changes on my personal github:
https://github.com/BtbN/FFmpeg

The cuMemcpy is entirely gone, not just Async. And the CUstream can be set and will be passed on to cuvid/nvdec.
