| #Libva-utils Project |
| |
| libva-utils is a collection of utilities and examples to exercise VA-API in |
| accordance with the libva project. --enable-tests (default = no) provides |
| a suite of unit-tests based on Google Test Framework. A driver implementation |
| is necessary to properly operate. |
| |
| VA-API is an open-source library and API specification, which |
| provides access to graphics hardware acceleration capabilities |
| for video processing. It consists of a main library and |
| driver-specific acceleration backends for each supported hardware |
| vendor. |
