Description

I see that `diffusers.utils.export_to_video()` encourages ffmpeg usage instead of OpenCV. Can you share the reason? I'm looking for a way to add video decoding to my project so I'm collecting arguments.

Research direction

Start at diffusers.utils.export_to_video() and review how its ffmpeg recommendation is presented. Determine the documented reasons for preferring ffmpeg over OpenCV for video handling, then add a clear explanation for users evaluating video decoding options.
