Video Acceleration API - Software Supporting VA API

Software Supporting VA API

  • Helix media player (Linux)
  • Clutter (toolkit)
  • Gnash Flash / SWF player
  • ffmpeg, a command line tool from the FFmpeg project, does not support VA-API, but libavcodec (also part of the FFmpeg project) does contain code that other applications use to support hardware accelerated decoding, including VA API.
  • Fluendo
  • XBMC Media Center (Linux)
  • XBMC Live (Linux Live CD/USB operating-system)
  • VLC media player (starting from release 1.1.0)
  • MythTV (starting from release 0.25)

Some software may gain VA API support in the future : Lightspark (Flash / SWF player), GStreamer (via "gstreamer-vaapi" VA-API plugins for GStreamer) and Xine (via "xine-lib-vaapi" library).

Famous quotes containing the word supporting:

    “I hope you will be benefitted by your churchgoing. Where the habit does not Christianize, it generally civilizes. That is reason enough for supporting churches, if there were no higher.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
