ffmpegOverlay release 1.3.1

This release aims to make gpu transcoding more stable

Changes:

• Added user-defined GPU codec whitelist
  • Some gpu doesn't support some other codecs, this is to ensure the script respects it

Stability:

• Been testing this release for 4 days straight while limiting the CPU to 1.1ghz. My computer is running at 55 degrees celsius and its relatively stable
• Transcoding HEVC and VP9 using CPU will take a long time. The output files will most likely be almost twice as big!
