🦟 Bug fix

Summary

The ffmpeg distributed via conda only has these encoders on win64:

(D:\programming\gz9-ws\conda) D:\programming\gz9-ws\gz-ws>ffmpeg -hide_banner -encoders | grep 264
 V....D libx264              libx264 H.264 / AVC / MPEG-4 AVC / MPEG-4 part 10 (codec h264)
 V....D libx264rgb           libx264 H.264 / AVC / MPEG-4 AVC / MPEG-4 part 10 RGB (codec h264)
 V....D libopenh264          OpenH264 H.264 / AVC / MPEG-4 AVC / MPEG-4 part 10 (codec h264)
 V....D h264_mf              H264 via MediaFoundation (codec h264)
 V....D h264_nvenc           NVIDIA NVENC H.264 encoder (codec h264)

I've added an explicit notice that Windows users with Intel GPUs won't have HW acceleration available out of the box.

If somebody knows about an easy way to provide a custom ffmpeg build with h264_qsv, it would be good to add it to the general install instructions.
