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:

    “There would be no supporting life were we to feel quite as poignantly for others as we do for ourselves.”
