It would set the use_vaapi=true
GN arg and apply the vaapi patch from archlinux.
In Chromium it seems that the use_vaapi
GN arg will enable video acceleration for VP8 and VP9 codecs. Additional acceleration for other codecs/formats (h264, h265, mpeg-4, VC-1) can be enabled by patching ffmpeg.
The vaapi archlinux patch adds enable-accelerated-video
flag and includes the libva
library (https://github.com/intel/libva).
The archlinux vaapi patch can be found here:
