'''Video Acceleration API (VA API)''' is an non-proprietary and royalty-free [[open source]] software [[Library (computing)|library]] ("''libVA''") and [[Application programming interface|API]] specification. The [[cross-platform]] API enables and provides access to hardware accelerated video processing, using hardware like for example [[graphics processing unit]]s (GPU) to accelerate video processing in order to offload the [[central processing unit]] (CPU) to decode and encode [[Data compression|compressed]] [[digital video]].
