%general-entities; ]> $Date$ libva The libva package contains a library which provides access to hardware accelerated video processing, using hardware to accelerate video processing in order to offload the central processing unit (CPU) to decode and encode compressed digital video. The VA API video decode/encode interface is platform and window system independent targeted at Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in the X Window System however it can potentially also be used with direct framebuffer and graphics sub-systems for video output. Accelerated processing includes support for video decoding, video encoding, subpicture blending, and rendering. &lfs101_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &libva-md5sum; Download size: &libva-size; Estimated disk space required: &libva-buildsize; Estimated build time: &libva-time; Additional Downloads Intel Driver Download (HTTP): Intel Driver Download (FTP): Intel Driver Download MD5 sum: &libva-intel-driver-md5sum; Intel Driver Download size: &libva-intel-driver-size; Estimated disk space required: &libva-intel-driver-buildsize; Estimated build time: &libva-intel-driver-time; libva Dependencies Required Recommended Optional , , and intel-gpu-tools User Notes: If you are reinstalling this package, you will need to remove the older versions of the libraries. These are in the form of libva*.so.1 and any symbolic links pointing to them. In addition, any packages that use these files need to be rebuilt. Install libva by running the following commands: ./configure $XORG_CONFIG && make This package does not come with a test suite. Now, as the root user: make install Installation of intel-vaapi-driver The intel-vaapi-driver is designed specifically for video cards based on an Intel GPU. Unpack the intel-vaapi tarball: tar -xvf ../intel-vaapi-driver-&libva-intel-driver-version;.tar.bz2 && cd intel-vaapi-driver-&libva-intel-driver-version; Install the driver by running the following commands: ./configure $XORG_CONFIG && make This package does not come with a test suite.
