Hi Gwenole, Thanks for the information. It seems based on some digging that the Intel platform is windows only? (Sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Quick_Sync_Video, http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/showthread.php?t=77855 ).
Is this the case or does VA-API allow me to use the hardware acceleration in Linux?
