Is there a way to make the re-encoding use the GPU? #30

I'm on Windows, the re-encoding is pretty CPU-intensive, are there any switches that can be used to use the GPU if one is present, either superview itself or ffmpeg?

Great tool though!

Yes, you can use a different encoder:

Which ones are available depends on your system and ffmpeg build.

Thanks - I used hevc_nvenc instead of "Use the same..." and it encoded much, much faster!

I wish there was a way to tell ffmpeg "use the fastest hardware encoder available for this format", but unfortunately that's no possible.
