20 gstreamer-vaapi consists in a collection of VA-API based plugins for
21 GStreamer and helper libraries.
23 * `vaapidecode' is used to decode JPEG, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264, VC-1,
24 WMV3 videos to video/x-vaapi-surfaces surfaces, depending on the
25 underlying HW capabilities.
27 * `vaapiupload' is used to convert from video/x-raw-yuv pixels to
28 video/x-vaapi-surface surfaces.
30 * `vaapidownload' is used to convert from video/x-vaapi-surface
31 surfaces to video/x-raw-yuv pixels.
33 * `vaapipostproc' is used to postprocess video/x-vaapi-surface
34 surfaces, for e.g. deinterlacing.
36 * `vaapisink' is used to display video/x-vaapi-surface surfaces to
43 * VA-API support from 0.29 to 0.32
44 * JPEG, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264 and VC-1 ad-hoc decoders
45 * OpenGL rendering through VA/GLX or GLX texture-from-pixmap + FBO
46 * Support for the Wayland display server
47 * Support for headless decode pipelines with VA/DRM
48 * Support for major HW video decoding solutions on Linux (AMD, Intel, NVIDIA)

89 VA elements are automatically plugged into GStreamer pipelines. So,
90 using playbin2 should work as is. However, here are a few alternate
91 pipelines constructed manually.
93 * Play an H.264 video with an MP4 container in fullscreen mode
94 $ gst-launch-0.10 -v filesrc location=/path/to/video.mp4 ! \
95 qtdemux ! vaapidecode ! vaapisink fullscreen=true
97 * Play a raw MPEG-2 interlaced stream
98 $ gst-launch-0.10 -v filesrc location=/path/to/mpeg2.bits ! \
99 mpegvideoparse ! vaapidecode ! vaapipostproc ! vaapisink
