Got it, thanks.
Please find the patches in attachment.

Just for my own understanding - could you please explain how this magic
works in the configure script? I mean this section:

if ! disabled ffnvcodec; then

    ffnv_hdr_list="ffnvcodec/nvEncodeAPI.h ffnvcodec/dynlink_cuda.h
ffnvcodec/dynlink_cuviddec.h ffnvcodec/dynlink_nvcuvid.h"

    check_pkg_config ffnvcodec "ffnvcodec >= 12.1.14.0" "$ffnv_hdr_list" ""
|| \

      check_pkg_config ffnvcodec "ffnvcodec >= 12.0.16.0  ffnvcodec < 12.1"
"$ffnv_hdr_list" "" || \

      check_pkg_config ffnvcodec "ffnvcodec >= 11.1.5.2 ffnvcodec < 12.0"
"$ffnv_hdr_list" "" || \

      check_pkg_config ffnvcodec "ffnvcodec >= 11.0.10.2 ffnvcodec < 11.1"
"$ffnv_hdr_list" "" || \

      check_pkg_config ffnvcodec "ffnvcodec >= 8.1.24.14 ffnvcodec < 8.2"
"$ffnv_hdr_list" ""

fi


To me it looks like any ffnvcodec package of version in range between
8.1.24.14 and 12.1.14.0 will pass this check.
