I just want to point out how sweeping and vague this is. Mihai, in my opinion if you want to help with "VAAPI stuff", then at least do the courtesy of listing your sources so that this can be examined if there is a true concern. Otherwise, it is probably fair to say that "some people are really disappointed" can be stated on virtually anything that people ever discussed on the internet and it is therefore a worthless statement.
