I understand this is important mainly for Nvidia GPUs.
Is there any benefit at all for this (vs the existing VA-API) on Intel and AMD graphics?
VA-API seems to work very well on both of these platforms, as far as I've tested.

#52Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yes, but that's way out of budget for most consumers.
Actually not really, Lunar Lake chips with Xe2 graphics have VVC decoding in hardware which can do 8K. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Versatile_Video_Coding
They were likely saying that 8K displays are way out of budget for most consumers.

#53How is the built-in website translation story in Firefox? To be honest, the only reason I'm forced to use Chrome is the way translate quite seamlessly works, both the detection (with mixed-language content in sites with English ads) and the actual translation.
I did try Bergamot but that was a year ago, and the experience was not as good as Chrome...

There are a couple built-in ways you can translate, all of them fully local. First is the full page translation and another that allows you to translate a selection (from the context menu.) Fully local nature, of course, reduces the translation capabilities, but I found the quality to be good enough to very rarely need an external service.

Really good. I use it frequently and haven't had any reason to switch to an external offering. It can translate the whole page or just a snippet that you highlight.

VA API has some caveats and also requires one to disable sandboxing of the media process.

Sorry my comment was related to the nvidia vaapi driver

#58Note that Firefox 153 Stable and ESR are not released until tomorrow (Tuesday July 21). Mozilla generally uploads them to the servers the day before.

Considering Intel has vulkan video disabled in Mesa for recent chips, I’m guessing very little.

#60Does this mean that AV1 on Youtube will finally not melt my CPU, while my nvidia GPU is asleep, or is this just an enabler that will require more work to build upon?
