AppImages available for the December 2024 release at:
Packages available for the newer operating systems at:
See latest release notes below the *****.

Question for Andrey:
Would it be possible to easily add   --with-onevpl    to the configure line in your build script for Leap 15.5 RPM package?
It would require the added package of "oneVPL-devel" to be installed on that O/S (that is the package name for Fedora).
If you use the same build script on all of your package builds, they would have to have "oneVPL-devel" installed also.  I have tested the build on Fedora 40 after installing that package and had no problem. I have none of the new Intel hardware to test but Terje would like to be able to use these new Intel hardware/software features on his computer. It should not impact normal usage (hopefully).

*********   GIT for Cinelerra-GG has the following changes from 11/01/2024-12/31/2024   *********
SVT_AV1 has been upgraded to 2.3.0 from 2.2.1 with no known problems.
Nvidia encode headers updated from 10.0.26.0 to 12.2.72.0 which corresponds to Video Codec SDK
  version 12.0.16. The required driver version for Linux is 550.54.14 or newer. You can check to see
  if your Nvidia graphics board is supported at this website at the time of this release:
   https:://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-and-decode-gpu-support-matrix-new
  There may be user impact since the previous required driver for Linux was 445.87.
Minor addition to add non-working ffmpeg filters to plugin.opts; these are blacklisted items.

Andrew-R contributions
The build for NetBSD 10.0/amd64 is now working with 3 patches applied and checked in.
New Termux (Android) encoding render formats have been added: h264_mediacodec.mp4,
  hevc_mediacodec.mp4, and mpeg2_hdv.mpeg. The 2 mediacodec formats will only work on Android
  (mediacodec is part of the Android low-level multimedia support infrastructure).
A mod to mjpegtools disables compilation of y4mdenoise to prevent compiler errors in clang.

Terje testing/building and Andrew-R diagnosing contributions
12 new render formats for qsv, which can be used only if you have that particular Intel hardware and
  software, have been added as developed/tested by Andrew and Terje.
  (QSV is Intel’s Quick Sync Video for its dedicated video encoding/decoding hardware core.)
12 new or replaced vaapi hardware encoding render formats are now available. Run the vainfo
  program to determine what formats your hardware/software recognizes.
There are some patches to ffmpeg.C and ffmpeg.h to support the above.
Additions for building with oneVPL (Intel’s oneAPI Video Processing Library) is now an option to be
 enabled if desired - not enabled by default - on the autogen line by adding “--with-onevpl”.
Note in reference to the previous paragraph:
  There should be no impact to standard usage of CinGG but users need to be especially aware of the
  fact that using a render encoding format that requires specific hardware/software implementation
  will give an error. In addition, the standard AppImage releases will not provide the availability to use
  specific hardware features. This is the same as the inability to use vdpau/vaapi from those same
  appimages since they are created on a computer without the end users specific hardware.

I think you can use appimage's libva IF your operating system closely match one used for creating appimage. Testing without hardware obviously will not work ....


Thanks a lot, have nice turn of year!

Happy new year everybody !
Well, starting the new year with continued shoveling snow from polar low pressure here at this season 🙁

First, to correct a minor typo that stemmed from me, but it hardly doesn't matter: Leap "15.5" should be "15.6".
As I have Leap and Tumbleweed/Slowroll installed in dual-boot setups on my three, older and relative new Intel platforms;
SkyLake (2015), KabyLake (2016/17) and Arc Alchemist (2022/23), I can test the RPM and qsv and vaapi presets on all.

Additional, I hope we also manage to get the newest Vulkan (Vaapi successor) video encoding feature incorporated next 😉
Currently I have posted the ffmpeg-Vulkan issue, which the Intel community team has promised to investigate further
https://community.intel.com/t5/Graphics/ffmpeg-h264-vulkan-and-hevc-vulkan-Encode-failed-on-A750-Linux/m-p/1650199#M136526



An AppImage has been graciously created for users who do have the Intel hardware that supports
  these newly tested/implemented features of oneVPL, av1, qsv, and vaapi for download at:
