Description of problem: I'd like to encode videos faster. This would be an excellent opportunity for the video card GPU. But unfortunately the packed ffmpeg does not have this option. --enable-nonfree --enable-nvenc --enable-nvresize --extra-cflags=-I../cudautils \ --extra-ldflags=-L../cudautils \ # this present --enable-gpl --enable-lix264 source http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/redist/ffmpeg/1511-patch/FFMPEG-with-NVIDIA-Acceleration-on-Ubuntu_UG_v01.pdf

There is difficulty complying with this wish because: 1. The tainted repository may not contain non-FOSS code. 2. It may make matters worse for users of either nvidia or non-nvidia cards. 3. The nvidia APIs licences are not GPL-compatible. You may wish to build ffmpeg yourself with all the right flags. See http://shlomifishswiki.branchable.com/Self-Sufficiency/?updated .
Indeed, the best we could do is add a togglable define in the spec to allow people to build it this way themselves locally (we have a lot of them in mplayer).
