Use dedicated GPU

[CDaut]

I have an eGPU, that I would like to use to encode mon2cams video stream. Is that possible? I guessed the -d flag might do it, but I havn't found out yet, what that does. Any help would be appreciated"

Encoding is done on the cpu only. We decided that gpu encoding would need too much effort to implement. PR's are welcome though!

If you want gpu encoding the best option would be to recompile ffmpeg with the required flags and libraries for your gpu, that would enable it for your system, but the easiest solution yet is to use obs.

Even if he would recompile ffmpeg with support for gpu encoding, he would still have to mess around in the code to specify some flags.

Doesn't it work if one would just add the -hwaccel flag to ffmpeg?
