[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v3 5/5] lavc: implement a Vulkan-based VC-2 encoder Implements a Vulkan based dirac encoder. Supports Haar and Legall wavelets and should work with all wavelet depths.

You are still using the old and inefficient way to write VC-2
exponential coded integers. Improving this gave a nice speed boost to
the software encoder.
