Not exactly true:

https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads/2013/2013q1-intel-graphics-stack-release(see
highlighted new features)

http://software.intel.com/en-us/vcsource/tools/media-sdk-linux - the latest
tutorial talks about encoding video with the GPU... and the september 6th
tutorial talks about using the media-sdk with FFMpeg.

So, really, it's probably just a matter of time.
