* Completely rewrote most of the plugin from scratch to unify the encoder class into one file, resulting in much lower code and size overhead and all optimizations being in effect for all encoders. * Removed old ProRes encoder interface as it has been replaced with the new interface. * Added support for NVidias H.264/AVC NVENC Encoder with all options, including the capability for YUV 4:4:4 encoding. It is slightly faster and less CPU intensive than the version included with OBS Studio. * Added support for NVidias H.265/HEVC NVENC Encoder with all options. This finally brings the HEVC market to NVidia people in addition to the AMD people that have already been able to use this with enc-amf.
FFMPEG Encoders for OBS studio
Adds ffmpeg encoders for normal use instead of requiring ffmpeg output. Not much else to say.

Threading Modes
All threading modes can be combined to create a more complex one.
Frame
Frame Threading means that new frames can be submitted before the last one is complete. This is the most basic threading and has huge latency issues, and is likely also very unstable with frame times.
Slice
Slice Threading allows individual frames to be done quicker by splitting up the entire submitted frame into individual slices, each of which are handed off to workers. More complex than frame threading, but can result in faster encoding and will result in less latency.
Macroblock
This kind of threading is rarely seen and splits the frame into macroblocks, allowing for massive parallelization. Similar latency to Slice threading and can occasionally use SMT/HT better, resulting in better performance.
