The gstreamer-vaapi package contains a gstreamer plugin for hardware accelerated video decode/encode for the prevailing coding standards today (MPEG-2, MPEG-4 ASP/H.263, MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, and VC-1/VMW3).
![[Note]](../images/note.png)
On systems without hardware acceleration (notably virtual machines under qemu-7.2.0), this package may cause the X server to crash. The BLFS team recommends not to install this package in this case.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS 11.3 platform.
