TorchCodec can use supported Nvidia hardware (see support matrix here

<https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-and-decode-gpu-support-matrix-new>) to speed-up

video decoding. This is called "CUDA Decoding".

video decoding. This is called "CUDA Decoding" and it uses Nvidia's NVDEC hardware
15+
decoder and CUDA kernels to respectively decompress and convert to RGB.
1516
CUDA Decoding can be faster than CPU Decoding for the actual decoding step and also for
1617
subsequent transform steps like scaling, cropping or rotating. This is because the decode step leaves
1718
the decoded tensor in GPU memory so the GPU doesn't have to fetch from main memory before
