gstreamer-vaapi-1.22.10

Introduction to gstreamer-vaapi

The gstreamer-vaapi package contains a gstreamer plugin for hardware accelerated video decode/encode for the prevailing coding standards today (MPEG-2, MPEG-4 ASP/H.263, MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, and VC-1/VMW3).

[Note]

Note

On systems without hardware acceleration (notably virtual machines under qemu-8.2.1), this package may cause the X server to crash. The BLFS team recommends not to install this package in this case.

This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS 12.1 platform.
