Now you can try it and use it if you are lucky enough to have the supporting hardware on a newer Intel system.

As far as I can tell, this appimage runs in the standard way on AMD / Fedora version 40 as expected.  So probably it will run about anywhere - just without the hardware encoding/decoding enhanced features (QSV and oneVPL).  And being an appimage, it will run for several years as is.

Thanks again, Terje AND Andrew !!!   

AND thanks to MatN who made it possible to keep providing binaries for the users for the past 4 year via his scripts to create the appimages !!!

After the successful Appimage build with OneVPL for QSV on Alder Lake (i7-12700/Arc A750),  the time has come as proof of contest to test if it also works on legacy Intel iGPU hardware.

Conclusion:
-------------------
The above simple tests show that the QSV enabled Appimage with OneVPL works also on legacy and other Intel hardware.
