Please make conversion in 4k video downloader use GPU for those users that have one.

Right now all application tasks are performed through the CPU and hence conversion takes longer and also takes away system resources that could have better been spent elsewhere. It would be great if 4k Video Downloader (and other software in the 4k suite) would make use of the GPU that many users of the software have, to speed up the conversion process.

Thanks in advance.

I hope 4k video dowload support openCl video encoding.
gpu can convert a video in 1/5 of a cpu.
and when i dowload a entire playlist from youtube it take very long to process all the video.
a GPU-CPU Encoding vould make it much faster.
and Opencl is relatively easy to implement

from a site:
" OpenGL is mostly used for computer graphics, it is a graphics API. OpenCL is mostly used for parallel computing, it is a computation API.

You may use OpenGL to solve some problems you usually solve with OpenCL but you will have to map your problem to the graphics context in order to get your computation going.

I think the main reason for you to pick OpenGL for non-rendering tasks is to support older hardware that can't run OpenCL. "
