Set VideoGear's decoder.

[scostandache]

Is there any way to set the video decoder for the VideoGear class? I've been looking through docs but not so many details found.
I would like to use the GPU in order to decode the video, in order to speed up the process a little.

OpenCV don't support GPU decoding in python yet and therefore there's no way of doing this in vidgear. OpenCV does supports Nvidia GPUs for speeding up DNN's computation modules which can used if you compile OpenCV with CUDA support, follow this article for more information.

But wait there's a Hack, export OPENCV_FFMPEG_CAPTURE_OPTIONS="video_codec|h264_cuvid" environment variable which works for some people but decrease performance for others and more information can be found in this issue: opencv/opencv#11220
