The VAAPI interface is to be implemented by [[device driver]]s to offer end-user software, such as [[VLC media player]] or [[GStreamer]], access to available video acceleration hardware, such a [[Nvidia PureVideo|PureVideo]] or [[Unified Video Decoder]] and make use of it.

The [[cross-platform]]{{Weasel-inline
