[Guide] Hardware Transcoding: The JDM way! QuickSync and NVENC

I really enjoyed reading this article on transcoding. I have a few clients that are outside of my network that need transcoding. I had a basic understanding of how it worked but the guide really cleared it up for me. A while ago I wanted to purchase a p2000 for hardware transcoding but since my funds were limited I never did. Then when reading this article I realized the same goal could be accomplished with the quicksync method. I heard of people talking about it on reddit and other forums but never really understood what it is. I havent gotten around do getting a quicksync box, just because other things in life have come up. But when I’m ready to go that route I will use this guide to set it up! Thanks JDM!

Also in general your builds are what inspired me to go with unraid. In te past I used freenas but it was very complicated and confusing, at least for a linux noob like myself. So, just a general shoutout to you and your builds that enabled me to make a home nas and also a plex server that streams to family and friends. Without you none of it would be possible.
Also, I would prefer package 1, as I dont yet have a quicksync box.

Thanks again for putting on this giveaway and for everything in general JDM!
