FFmpeg Merges Vulkan Video Encode Support

([Vulkan] 3 Hours Ago Vulkan Video Encoding)


Since the release of FFmpeg 6.1 last year there has been [1]accelerated Vulkan Video decoding support while being merged to FFmpeg Git this weekend is the Vulkan Video encode support.

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.

Modern psychology takes completely for granted that behavior and neural function
are perfectly correlated, that one is completely caused by the other. There is
no separate soul or lifeforce to stick a finger into the brain now and then and
make neural cells do what they would not otherwise. Actually, of course, this
is a working assumption only....It is quite conceivable that someday the
assumption will have to be rejected. But it is important also to see that we
have not reached that day yet: the working assumption is a necessary one and
there is no real evidence opposed to it. Our failure to solve a problem so
far does not make it insoluble. One cannot logically be a determinist in
physics and biology, and a mystic in psychology.
