The latest Vulkan Video patches by Lynne have now been upstreamed into FFmpeg for enabling GPU accelerated video encoding using this cross-vendor, cross-OS API. This Vulkan Video encode support is currently in place for H.264 and H.265.
This Vulkan Video encode support is now in [2]FFmpeg Git ahead of the project's next release.
Great seeing more driver and multimedia software support around Vulkan Video continuing to materialize albeit rather slowly. Mesa's Intel ANV driver [3]supports H.264/H.265 encode as does [4]the RADV driver too since earlier in the year.
