[Libav-user] Hardware decoding via libva

[faeem]

Thanks for the YUV->RGB tip. I'll look into that.

I think I read on wikipedia that ffmpeg/libavcodec has no va-api 
support, but does contain data structures that allow it to be used with 
va-api. I figured someone here would have some idea on what to do, and 
I've already got some very useful advice and code examples.

So, thanks :)
