VDPAU only supports X11 and GL interop. There is no Wayland or Vulkan interop support. The API has limitations that makes it impossible to correctly decode certain streams. Application support is also very limited, and VAAPI is always a better choice over VDPAU.

Introduction
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
The Mesa project began as an open-source implementation of the
|
|
`OpenGL`_ specification - a system for rendering interactive 3D graphics.
|
|
|
|
Over the years the project has grown to implement more graphics APIs,
|
|
including `OpenGL ES`_, `OpenCL`_, `VA-API`_,
|
|
`Vulkan`_ and `EGL`_.
|
|
|
|
A variety of device drivers allows the Mesa libraries to be used in many
|
|
different environments ranging from software emulation to complete
|
|
hardware acceleration for modern GPUs.
|
|
|
|
Mesa ties into several other open-source projects: the `Direct Rendering
|
|
Infrastructure`_, `X.org`_, and `Wayland`_ to provide OpenGL support on
|
|
Linux, FreeBSD, and other operating systems.
