I would love to be able to leverage my GPU for transcoding. I know it would probably be hard to implement but it would be cool.

I’d also appreciate this feature, my x5650s only go so far.
I think I read somewhere that FFMPEG supports hardware acceleration, but I don’t know about this stuff. 😛

> I would LOVE (in all caps) to see some GPU (nvidia as the dominate force but I will be happy to BUY radeon) processing added into the transcoder. if this already exists, I would love to know how to make it work, but if not man that would make things...
