VAAPI, kthxbye.

I wish they'd create something for Gstreamer like DXVA for DirectX. It would speed up development for many applications. Maybe if it was already available, we would have had hardware decoding for flash by now.

Why do you need VAAPI if you have stdlib?

I don't think you know what either of those are.

Um, they are both frameworks to manage your video collection.

Sorry for trolling. I thought d2kx was imlpying that VAAPI could/should replace GStreamer. It's more likely a feature request though.

VAAPI accelerates video playback (typically using GPU hardware), stdlib is the C standard library. Neither manage video collections.
