Nvenc under MAC with EGPU

[Selur]

Hyrid only uses the videotoolbox api through ffmpeg, which sadly isn't that great.
Sadly I can't be of much assistance with this since:
a. I don't own a mac atm.
b. Apple really restricts any hardware decoding through their videotoolbox api which is why you can't access NVEnc directly like you can on Windows and Linux

What you basically do in Hybrid is:

• load a source in Hybrid ('Base->Open file')
  
• set 'Base->Processing->Video' to 'FFVideotoolbox'
  
• go into the 'FFVideotoolbox' and select the Encoder (and do additional configuration)
  
• set output 'Base->Output file'
  
• add the settings to the job queue ('Base->Add to queue')
  
• start the encoding ('Jobs->Queue->Start')
  

Either Apple supports using the VPU for encoding through VideoToolBox and the encoding works through the VPU or it doesn't and VideoToolBox will use the cpu.

Note that monitoring the GPU won't show much since video decoding and encoding doesn't run through the gpu, but the vpu.
