gstreamer-vaapi consists in a collection of VA-API based plugins for
GStreamer and helper libraries.
- * `vaapidecode' is used to decode JPEG, MPEG-2, MPEG-4:2, H.264 AVC,
- H.264 MVC, VP8, VC-1, WMV3 videos to VA surfaces, depending on the
- underlying hardware capabilities. This plugin is also able to
- implicitly download the decoded surface to raw YUV buffers.
-
- * `vaapiencode_<CODEC>' is used to encode into MPEG-2, H.264 AVC,
- H.264 MVC videos, depending on the actual value of <CODEC> (mpeg2,
- h264, etc.). By default, raw format bitstreams are generated, so
- the result may be piped to a muxer. e.g. qtmux for MP4 containers.
+ * `vaapi<CODEC>dec' is used to decode JPEG, MPEG-2, MPEG-4:2, H.264
+ AVC, H.264 MVC, VP8, VC-1, WMV3, HEVC videos to VA surfaces,
+ depending on the actual value of <CODEC> and the underlying
+ hardware capabilities. This plugin is also able to implicitly
+ download the decoded surface to raw YUV buffers.
+
+ * `vaapi<CODEC>enc' is used to encode into MPEG-2, H.264 AVC, H.264
+ MVC, JPEG, VP8, HEVC videos, depending on the actual value of
+ <CODEC> (mpeg2, h264, etc.) and the hardware capabilities. By
+ default, raw format bitstreams are generated, so the result may be
+ piped to a muxer, e.g. qtmux for MP4 containers.
* `vaapipostproc' is used to filter VA surfaces, for e.g. scaling,
deinterlacing (bob, motion-adaptive, motion-compensated), noise

Usage
-----
VA elements are automatically plugged into GStreamer pipelines. So,
- using playbin (or playbin2 with GStreamer 0.10) should work as is.
+ using playbin should work as is.
However, here are a few alternate pipelines that could be manually
constructed.
* Play an H.264 video with an MP4 container in fullscreen mode
$ gst-launch-1.0 -v filesrc location=/path/to/video.mp4 ! \
- qtdemux ! vaapidecode ! vaapisink fullscreen=true
+ qtdemux ! vaapidecodebin ! vaapisink fullscreen=true
* Play a raw MPEG-2 interlaced stream
$ gst-launch-1.0 -v filesrc location=/path/to/mpeg2.bits ! \
- mpegvideoparse ! vaapidecode ! vaapipostproc ! vaapisink
+ mpegvideoparse ! vaapimpeg2dec ! vaapipostproc ! vaapisink
* Convert from one pixel format to another, while also downscaling
$ gst-launch-1.0 -v filesrc location=/path/to/raw_video.yuv ! \
* Encode a 1080p stream in raw I420 format into H.264
$ gst-launch-1.0 -v filesrc location=/path/to/raw_video.yuv ! \
videoparse format=i420 width=1920 height=1080 framerate=30/1 ! \
- vaapiencode_h264 rate-control=cbr tune=high-compression ! \
+ vaapih264enc rate-control=cbr tune=high-compression ! \
qtmux ! filesink location=/path/to/encoded_video.mp4
framework are really easy to get.
