Intel® Video Processing Library (Intel® VPL) tools provide access to hardware accelerated video decode, encode, and processing capabilities on Intel® GPUs from the command line.
The tools require the Intel® VPL base library and a runtime library installed. Current runtime implementations:
- Intel® VPL GPU Runtime for use on Intel® Iris® Xe graphics and newer
- Intel® Media SDK for use on legacy Intel graphics
Follow the instructions on the respective repos to install the desired implementation.
Building the tools requires an installation of Intel® VPL development package.
Linux:
git clone https://github.com/intel/libvpl

No code changes may be introduced that would regress support for any currently supported hardware. All contributions must ensure continued compatibility and functionality across all supported hardware platforms. Failure to maintain hardware compatibility may result in the rejection or reversion of the contribution.
Any deliberate modifications or removal of hardware support will be transparently communicated in the release notes.
API options are solely considered as a stable interface. Any debug parameters, environmental variables, and internal data structures, are not considered as an interface and may be changed or removed at any time.
