Comment (by dreamcat4):

 A fork of ffmpeg has implemented quick sync support.

 https://github.com/drocon11/ffmpeg-qsv

 HOWEVER, like all similar before it - depends on the Intel Media SDK as a
 build requirement. Which Intel only provides Windows and Linux. (no OS X,
 no FreeBSD).

 So it is probably needing some pre-compiled assembly, DLL or ELF / .so lib
 files to link from the Media SDK.

 Maybe if the only dependancy was on C files & headers. Then something
 truly portable could be built for all platforms. So perhaps the best hope
 is to ask nicely, beg and borrow from the VLC team*.
