Yes, but when you transcoding from FHD or 4K to SD quality it could save 
alotof GPU resources.

We have one example where "ONE" Quadro P5000 (2xNVENC) is downscaling 
about 74 FHD streams to SD at realtime.

I know it is not something that is acceptable in current ffmpeg, maybe 
libav could adopt this patch.
