%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ libvdpau The libvdpau package contains a library which implements the VDPAU library. VDPAU (Video Decode and Presentation API for Unix) is an open source library (libvdpau) and API originally designed by Nvidia for its GeForce 8 series and later GPU hardware targeted at the X Window System This VDPAU API allows video programs to offload portions of the video decoding process and video post-processing to the GPU video-hardware. Currently, the portions capable of being offloaded by VDPAU onto the GPU are motion compensation (mo comp), inverse discrete cosine transform (iDCT), VLD (variable-length decoding) and deblocking for MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 ASP (MPEG-4 Part 2), H.264/MPEG-4 AVC and VC-1, WMV3/WMV9 encoded videos. Which specific codecs of these that can be offloaded to the GPU depends on the version of the GPU hardware; specifically, to also decode MPEG-4 ASP (MPEG-4 Part 2), Xvid/OpenDivX (DivX 4), and DivX 5 formats, a GeForce 200M (2xxM) Series (the eleventh generation of Nvidia's GeForce graphics processing units) or newer GPU hardware is required. &lfs76_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &libvdpau-md5sum; Download size: &libvdpau-size; Estimated disk space required: &libvdpau-buildsize; Estimated build time: &libvdpau-time; libvdpau Dependencies Required Optional , , and Runtime Dependency User Notes: Install libvdpau by running the following commands: ./configure $XORG_CONFIG && make To test the results, issue: make check.
