Description
Older Intel graphics hardware can provide VA-API video acceleration through a development driver build.
This package is useful for systems with Intel G45 or HD Graphics family GPUs when media applications need hardware decoding or encoding support. It does not add a media app; it supplies the driver layer used by libva and video software.
Driver behavior depends on the exact GPU, kernel, Mesa stack, codec, and application. Use the Git build mainly for testing or when required by compatibility.
