Direct3D Video Decode To Vulkan Video API Being Worked On For Wine

([WINE] 5 Hours Ago Vulkan Video Under D3D11 Video)


In addition to mapping the Direct3D graphics API to Vulkan, Wine developers are working on mapping the Direct3D video acceleration APIs to work atop the Vulkan Video API.

CodeWeavers developer Elizabeth Figura has opened a merge request for Wine to begin landing Vulkan Video H.264 decode within the WineD3D code. This would allow Windows applications making use of the D3D11 video decode API to ultimately utilize Vulkan Video where supported on Linux systems.

[1]This open merge request is just the first of three planned parts around WineD3D H.264 decoding using the Vulkan Video API. Right now it's just for H.264 but could be extended for other video formats supported by Vulkan Video and Direct3D as well.

This is an exciting WineD3D development and hopefully this functionality will all be wired up soon for making use of Vulkan Video within Wine / Steam Play (Proton) via the Direct3D video interfaces.

Glogg (a traditional Scandinavian holiday drink):
fifth of dry red wine
fifth of Aquavit
1 and 1/2 inch piece of cinnamon
10 cardamom seeds
1 cup raisins
4 dried figs
1 cup blanched or flaked almonds
a few pieces of dried orange peel
5 cloves
1/2 lb. sugar cubes
Heat up the wine and hard stuff (which may be substituted with wine
for the faint of heart) in a big pot after adding all the other stuff EXCEPT
the sugar cubes. Just when it reaches boiling, put the sugar in a wire
strainer, moisten it in the hot brew, lift it out and ignite it with a match.
Dip the sugar several times in the liquid until it is all dissolved. Serve
hot in cups with a few raisins and almonds in each cup.
N.B. Aquavit may be hard to find and expensive to boot. Use it only
if you really have a deep-seated desire to be fussy, or if you are of Swedish
extraction.
