I'm working on a code to capture the desktop using Desktop duplication and encode the same to h264 using Intel hardwareMFT. The encoder only accepts NV12 format as input. I have got a DXGI_FORMAT_B8G8R8A8_UNORM to NV12 converter(https://github.com/NVIDIA/video-sdk-samples/blob/master/nvEncDXGIOutputDuplicationSample/Preproc.cpp) that works fine, and is based on DirectX VideoProcessor.
The problem is that the VideoProcessor on certain intel graphics hardware supports conversions only from DXGI_FORMAT_B8G8R8A8_UNORM to YUY2 but not NV12, I have confirmed the same by enumerating the supported formats through GetVideoProcessorOutputFormats. Though the VideoProcessor Blt succeeded without any errors, and I could see that the frames in the output video are pixelated a bit, I could notice it if I look at it closely.
I guess, the VideoProcessor has simply failed over to the next supported output format (YUY2) and I'm unknowingly feeding it to the encoder that thinks that the input is in NV12 as configured. There is no failure or major corruption of frames due to the fact that there is little difference like byte order and subsampling between NV12 and YUY2. Also, I don't have pixelating problems on hardware that supports NV12 conversion.
So I decided to do the color conversion using pixel shaders which is based on this code(https://github.com/bavulapati/DXGICaptureDXColorSpaceConversionIntelEncode/blob/master/DXGICaptureDXColorSpaceConversionIntelEncode/DuplicationManager.cpp). I'm able make the pixel shaders work, I have also uploaded my code here(https://codeshare.io/5PJjxP) for reference (simplified it as much as possible).
Now, I'm left with two channels, chroma, and luma respectively (ID3D11Texture2D textures). And I'm really confused about efficiently packing the two separate channels into one ID3D11Texture2D texture so that I may feed the same to the encoder. Is there a way to efficiently pack the Y and UV channels into a single ID3D11Texture2D in GPU? I'm really tired of CPU based approaches due to the fact that it's costly, and doesn't offer the best possible frame rates. In fact, I'm reluctant to even copy the textures to CPU. I'm thinking of a way to do it in GPU without any back and forth copies between CPU and GPU.
I have been researching this for quite some time without any progress, any help would be appreciated.

I am experimenting this RGBA conversion to NV12 in the GPU only, using DirectX11.
This is a good challenge. I'm not familiar with Directx11, so this is my first experimentation.
Check this project for updates : D3D11ShaderNV12
In my current implementation (may not be the last), here is what I do:
My final texture is not DXGI_FORMAT_NV12, but a similar DXGI_FORMAT_R8_UNORM texture. My computer is Windows7, so DXGI_FORMAT_NV12 is not handled. I will try later on a another computer.
