GPU Decoding?

Is it possible to lessen the load on the CPU by using a GPU at all with zoneminder? So many of the GPU's claim things like native h.264 hardware accelerated decoding.

I think that depends on the developers of ffmpeg since that is what ZoneMinder uses to generate the videos... After reading these two posts:

I think that patch does look to improve the CPU performance, just not by using the GPU as rphenix was asking.. You know... this is why open source software rocks anyone can find an itch to scratch and mastertheknife's patch looks good I'm going to have to give it a try. Thanks for pointing out the patch!
