Description-en: VDPAU driver with OpenGL/VAAPI backend
Many applications can use VDPAU to accelerate portions of the video
decoding process and video post-processing to the GPU video
hardware. Unfortunately, there is no such library for many graphic
chipsets. Some applications also support VA-API but many of them,
including Adobe Flash Player, don't.
.
This library proposes a generic VDPAU library. It uses OpenGL under
the hood to accelerate drawing and scaling and VA-API (if available)
to accelerate video decoding.
