Stanley, have you heard of AMD?

They make CPUs and GPUs, and since 2011 they have included hardware video encoding on their GPUs in a block called VCE.
Other video transcoders support VCE and have done for years, Mediacoder still does not.
AMD has recently released new version of their Media SDK here:

https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/AMF
Polaris GPUs (New Radeon 4xx series) can also encode H.265/HEVC, even with 2-pass. As an example of how easy this is to implement, a hobbyist created a VCE live-streaming plugin for OBS Studio in his spare time in a few days: https://www.xaymar.com/2016/08/26/versi ... s-out-now/
A developer of a competing transcoder updated their program to support H.265/HEVC GPU encoding with VCE in a few hours, without even owning a Radeon 4xx GPU to test on: http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/3800 ... ng-Samples
I am encoding HEVC on my AMD GPU right now, though obviously not in MediaCoder. Are you ever going to acknowledge AMD?
