MystiQ use ffmpeg to convert. If you known about the arguments to ffmpeg that use your hardware then you can add to MystiQ and use it.

According to This

I think -hwaccel would do that.

I have a question:According to ffmpeg's documentation page:

Note that most acceleration methods are intended for playback and will not be faster than software decoding on modern CPUs. Additionally, ffmpeg will usually need to copy the decoded frames from the GPU memory into the system memory, resulting in further performance loss. This option is thus mainly useful for testing.

Does this mean that ffmpeg developers advise us not to use hardware acceleration when converting media formats?
