Improving CodeFormer videos

[Dan64]

In any case it could be a big enhancement to introduce "ffmpeg" as Video encoder like "nvenc"

a. Hybrid already supports this on Linux
b. don't see any gain in it compared to NVEncC

In this case it will be possible to skip "vspipe" providing to Hybrid a more robust alternative in case of "unknown" problems with filters.

In my eyes, ffmpegs Vapoursynth support is not more stable than vspipe.
=> not planning to support directly loading the a vapoursynth script through ffmpeg

I do agree with you that "ffmpeg" is not introducing any significant gain compared to NVEncC  and that ffmpegs Vapoursynth support is not more stable than vspipe.
The problem is that the "pipe" it is the weakest link in the encoding chain, the "ffmpeg" (Vapoursynth enabled version) is able to avoid the "pipe" in this sense is more robust than "vspipe".
