VLC VAAPI

Introduction

This page is about compiling VLC with support of GPU acceleration on Linux.

Install libva from http://www.splitted-desktop.com/~gbeauchesne/libva/ . We do not support other libraries than the one from Mr. Beauchesne.

Get the latest FFmpeg trunk as of 2010-January. Compile it with vaapi hwaccel support.

./configure --enable-gpl --enable-postproc --prefix=/path/to/ --enable-shared --enable-vaapi
make
make install

Get VLC from Git.

./bootstrap
./configure
make
