Overview

These patches add VA API support to FFmpeg and MPlayer.

HW video decode capabilities depend on the actual VA API implementation. Besides, from an MPlayer perspective, only full-offload (VLD) of the video is supported for the following codecs:

Quick build notes

MPlayer-vaapi requires libva >= 0.50.0 or libva >= 0.29.0-sds8. i.e. with Splitted-Desktop Systems API extensions revision 8, as implemented in libva 0.29-2+sds11 packages. The former is a future upstream release while the latter is available here: http://www.splitted-desktop.com/~gbeauchesne/libva/

Make sure you also have svn (subversion) and all necessary MPlayer libraries, among with their development files, installed on your system.

On a Debian system, the following commands will help you install the required files: 

# apt-get build-dep mplayer

Then, you can run the supplied script to build mplayer-vaapi: 

$ ./checkout-patch-build.sh

Running VA API enabled MPlayer

$ cd mplayer-vaapi
$ ./mplayer -vo vaapi -va vaapi <URI>

<URI> can be a pathname or an URL.
