# The graphics/intel-media-driver port

## intel-media-driver-24.3.4 – VAAPI driver for Intel HD 5000 (Gen8) or newer

## Description

    VA-API (Video Acceleration API) user mode driver for Intel GEN Graphics
    family

    VA-API is an open-source library and API specification, which provides
    access to graphics hardware acceleration capabilities for video
    processing. It consists of a main library and driver-specific
    acceleration backends for each supported hardware vendor.

    The current video driver backend provides a bridge to the GEN GPUs
    through the packaging of buffers and commands to be sent to the i915
    driver for exercising both hardware and shader functionality for video
    decode, encode, and processing.
