%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. &lfs113_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; libva Dependencies Required Recommended Recommended (Runtime) The VA API driver suitable for the hardware: (for Intel GPUs provided with Haswell CPUs or earlier), (for Intel GPUs provided with Broadwell CPUs or later), (providing the r600, raedonsi, and nouveau VA API drivers, for the ATI/AMD Raedon HD 2xxx GPUs and later, and supported NVIDIA GPUs; there is a circular dependency, read Mesa page for how to break it) Optional , , and intel-gpu-tools User Notes: Install libva by running the following commands: ./configure $XORG_CONFIG && make This package does not come with a test suite.
