[x264-devel] vaapi ??

[Sean Darcy]

I'm using x264 to encode on an i3 sandybridge laptop. This is an
underpowered machine for the task.

vaapi would allow use of the gpu for encoding:

vainfo
libva: VA-API version 0.33.0
...........
vainfo: VA-API version: 0.33 (libva 1.1.0)
vainfo: Driver version: Intel i965 driver - 1.0.18
vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints
      VAProfileMPEG2Simple            :	VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileMPEG2Main              :	VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileH264Baseline           :	VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileH264Baseline           :	VAEntrypointEncSlice
      VAProfileH264Main               :	VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileH264Main               :	VAEntrypointEncSlice
      VAProfileH264High               :	VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileH264High               :	VAEntrypointEncSlice
...........

Is there any way to have x284 use vaapi?
