Lots of hardware acceleration:

- Intel QSV-accelerated MJPEG encoding

- NVIDIA NVDEC-accelerated H.264, HEVC, MJPEG, MPEG-1/2/4, VC1, VP8/9 hwaccel decoding

- Intel QSV-accelerated overlay filter

- OpenCL overlay filter

- VAAPI MJPEG and VP8 decoding

- AMD AMF H.264 and HEVC encoders

- VideoToolbox HEVC encoder and hwaccel

- VAAPI-accelerated ProcAmp (color balance), denoise and sharpness filters

If you're reading this, FFmpeg developers, please accept my thanks for your work. You have become a "Category Killer"[1] in command-line video tomfoolery.

FFmpeg has been an amazing tool. I don't know if this is helpful, but using static linked builds has been a big time saver for me. Patent issues can make it tough to get a feature complete install. The ones below have worked amazingly well.

Hopefully this means the imminent packaging of mpv 0.28 with Vulkan support.

Looks like there has been a lot[1] of discussion about it, but nothing decided yet?

> native aptX and aptX HD encoder and decoder

Sounds great. Is there any meaning to Linux computers that don’t support aptX? Also I am wondering how it is posssible to include the aptX codec since its license term is against GPL?
