GStreamer-VAAPI is a set of GStreamer elements (vaapidecode, vaapipostroc, vaapisink, and several encoders) and libgstvapi, a library that wraps libva under a GObject/GStreamer semantics.

This talk will be about VAAPI and its integration with GStreamer. We will show a general overview of VAAPI architecture, the role of libgstvaapi, and finally, the design of GStreamer elements. Afterwards we will show what is ahead in the development of GStreamer-VAAPI, and the current problems and challenges.
