[Cin] ffmpeg - cuda

[sergiogomez at tostado.com.ar]

Thanks a lot! Well... 

pipe option isn't better in this case (I did some test). Changing 
parameters to pass in  the "view" button, ffmpeg option, not codec, is
better. Attached images show some information to think it's using HW
Acceleration. It's using 2 of 6 cores when before used all cores to
reender. And use dedicate memory of graphic card and more GPU  and video
engine. Render time reduce about 25% and that's excelent  

Oh! The more important topic ! Manual is amazing. I'm trying to
translate to spanish (slowly) to read the whole book and colaborate with
CinGG

And/Or click on the "format" button which provides additional parameters -- these only sort of work and probably not what you want.
