-==== For AMD ====
+==== Interfaces ====
+There are different Hardware/Software Interfaces that are important for Video acceleration in 2D and 3D.
+From [[https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hardware_video_acceleration|https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hardware_video_acceleration]] :
+[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_processing_unit#GPU_accelerated_video_decoding_and_encoding|Hardware video acceleration]] makes it possible for the video card to decode/encode video, thus offloading the CPU and saving power.
+There are several ways to achieve this on Linux:
+  * [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_Acceleration_API|Video Acceleration API]] (VA-API) is a specification and open source library to provide both hardware accelerated video encoding and decoding, developed by Intel.
+  * [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VDPAU|Video Decode and Presentation API for Unix]] (VDPAU) is an open source library and API to offload portions of the video decoding process and video post-processing to the GPU video-hardware, developed by NVIDIA.
+  * [[https://gpuopen.com/advanced-media-framework/|Advanced Media Framework SDK]] (AMF) is an open source framework which allows "Optimal" access to AMD GPUs for multimedia processing, developed by AMD.
+  * [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_NVDEC|NVDEC]]/[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_NVENC|NVENC]] - NVIDIA's proprietary APIs for hardware video acceleration, used by NVIDIA GPUs from Fermi onwards.
+  * [[https://www.khronos.org/blog/an-introduction-to-vulkan-video|Vulkan Video]] is an extension of the [[https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Vulkan|Vulkan]] graphics API designed to support hardware-accelerated video encoding and decoding.
+For comprehensive overview of driver and application support see [[https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hardware_video_acceleration#Comparison_tables|#Comparison tables]].
+=== VA-API ===
+This is the most used Interface for video acceleration and decoding itself. The example here is a very old card still supported by AMDGPU:

+Please check to use the right driver (see beneath), and not maybe r600, which would be the first matching driver, if the environment LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME had not been set.
+=== VDPAU ===
+Basically a good way, to put load from the cpu to gpu. But:
+The Mesa-Project, which is the base-project for all desktops and many programs that did support the interface, now does not any more, which is why that interface from Mesa will die:

+Oh, so mesa removed VDPAU support with version 25.3.0
+Now anything that depended on it should be removed. Please disable all vdpau on your system.
+Edit: Try vaapi instead system-wide. Mesa should provide a vaapi driver for radeonsi
+</code>
+To still be able to unload rendering to GPU, you ma y use the LIBVDPAU-VA-GL ( [[https://github.com/i-rinat/libvdpau-va-gl|https://github.com/i-rinat/libvdpau-va-gl]] ). This Library will offer VDPAU by using VA-API and OpenGL.
+See beaneath for setup.
+=== Vulkan ===
+This is the actual framework for using 3d graphics in Linux. It will be the best supported Interface in the Future.
+To tes, use:
