| # Libva Project |
| |
| Libva is an implementation for VA-API (Video Acceleration API) |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| If you would like to contribute to libva, check our [Contributing |
| guide](https://github.com/intel/libva/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md). |
| |
| We also recommend taking a look at the ['janitorial' |
| bugs](https://github.com/intel/libva/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3AJanitorial) |
| in our list of open issues as these bugs can be solved without an |
| extensive knowledge of libva. |
