Hardware Encoding?

Whenever I convert a movie, it always says Encoding Mode Software (CPU). Is there no Hardware Encoding? Forgive if this is a dumb question.

Hi,

To follow-up from this question, for interest only. Why is the reason that hardware encoding is not supported?
Is it because it's not reliable for good quality output? or that the libraries do not exist to utilise?
.. or some other reason?

I am using a Radeon R9 GPU, a few years old now, and I wouldn't change to some other software. But yes, it irks me that the converter always says it's usin gonly CPU. I feel like I'm missing out on some upspeed potential.

DVD encoding does not support hardware encoding, BR and other formats do.
