New Intel Mesa Driver Patches Implement AV1 Decode For Vulkan Video
While there has been Vulkan Video support within Intel's open-source 'ANV' driver since early 2023 and extended over time to handle H.265/HEVC decode, H.264 and H.265 encode, and more, the AV1 decode support has lagged behind until now.
In a new Mesa merge request this week that is pending review, there is Intel ANV Vulkan Video support for decoding AV1 content. This code has been successfully tested with various AV1 content, including 10-bit decoding and features like in-loop super resolution. See this merge request for the pending AV1 Vulkan Video decode support for the Intel open-source Linux driver.
