[FFmpeg-user] GPU speed increase

[Dennis Mungai]

A few observations:

The MX150 does not support NVENC, meaning that any NVENC-based hwaccels are
out of the window.
However, that same laptop is most likely to have Optimus, giving you access
to the Intel's Integrated graphics platform from which you can use either
QSV or VAAPI for hwaccel (filters and encoders), with OpenCL also in the
mix.

However, in the command you posted, you'll see no benefit whatsoever from
hwaccel based on the filters you're using.
