Video Encoding and Decoding with Vulkan Compute Shaders in FFmpeg

In this blog we explore how FFmpeg uses Vulkan Compute to seamlessly accelerate encoding and decoding of even professional-grade video on consumer GPUs — unlocking GPU compute parallelism at scale, without specialized hardware. This approach complements Vulkan Video's fixed-function codec support, extending acceleration to formats and workflows it doesn't cover.

Afternoon crew please check out my 85x64 pixel encode of a 100 minute #PublicDomain movie that fits within Discord's 10 MB limit. #encoding #video #videoencoding #compression #AV1

Detecting AV1-encoded videos with Python

I wrote a Python test to find videos that are encoded with AV1, so I can convert them to a codec my iPhone can play.

🤔 Ah, yes, the genius move from #HP and Dell—a grand display of corporate wizardry where they graciously provide you with a Ferrari engine and then disable the turbo. 🚗✨ Who needs efficient video decoding when you can have that sweet, sweet CPU power doing... absolutely nothing? 🙃

HP and Dell disable HEVC support built into their laptops’ CPUs

HEVC licensing gets more expensive in January.

So … while this is obviously nice for virtualized gaming, what about video decode/encode acceleration?

Is there a way to give a #Linux guest access to the host #GPU's video codec acceleration without GPU passthrough?

Just like it's possible to pass /dev/dri into a container, can I do a similar thing with a #QEMU / #KVM virtual machine?

AVI is the awesome new video format and encoder, that is royalty-free, open-source, and backed by the likes of Google, Netflix, Amazon and Apple. Anyone is free to use it, with no catches, no strings attached.

Now there's a new very simple easy to use Desktop encoding app called "aviator"
