ffmpeg supports qsv encoding since 2.7 (august-september version, not sure). See changelog:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/release/2.8/Changelog
The support referenced there involves use of Intel’s proprietary MFX libraries, which are not compatible with the GPL. We’re investigating hardware encoding support, but it’ll take time, and will have to be implemented in a GPL-compatible manner.
