Created by: Snawoot

Purpose of proposed changes

  • Addresses issue #13 (closed) and removes outdated info.
  • Updates requirements:
    • Adds explicit requirement for x86_64 architecture because only x86_64 drivers are covered by this patch.
    • Mentions progress made by PR #10 and other testing experience.
  • Improves formatting:
    • Underscores are escaped in order to avoid its interpretation as emphasis.
    • Download URLs for drivers versions reformatted for better readability.
    • Download URL in step-by-step guide reformatted as URL with explicit text and href in order to deal with underscores properly.

Essential steps taken

I've noticed underscores highlighted by Vim syntax highlight for Markdown. I checked README.md appearance using various previewers and linters and noticed some of them misinterpreting unescaped underscores as emphasis, so I rewrote formatting unambiguously.

If you experience `CreateBitstreamBuffer failed: out of memory (10)`, then you have to lower buffers number used for every encoding session. If you are using `ffmpeg`, consider using this [patch](https://gist.github.com/Snawoot/70ae403716c698cb86ab015626d72bd4).
If you experience `CreateBitstreamBuffer failed: out of memory (10)`, then you have to lower buffers number used for every encoding session. If you are using `ffmpeg`, see option `-surfaces` ("Number of concurrent surfaces") and try value near `-surfaces 8`.
