Adding UNIX support (Linux/macOS) #1

Closed FtZPetruska closed 3 years ago

FtZPetruska commented 3 years ago

Added support for both Linux and macOS:

On Linux, the script will try to detect if NVENC or QSV is available (AMD's VCE is only partially supported).
On macOS, the Videotoolbox API provided by Apple will be used to manage hardware encoding, as it does not support CRF, the -qp 30 option of FFMPEG is replaced by -b:v 12M as it is the recommended bitrate for 1080p60 videos by YouTube.
README has been updated in consequence.

Changes have been tested on the following configurations:

x64 Intel-based MacbookPro.
Arch-Linux laptop running a NVIDIA graphic card and an Intel APU.
Ubuntu desktop PC running a NVIDIA graphic card and an Intel CPU.

Some housekeeping was done such as:

Adding a .gitignore.
Fixing typos.
Normalizing names.
