@sailor Quote: On X1000+RadeonHDv5 VAAPI works fine, but you cannot play H.265 videos here: Southern Island cards itselves have only HD(720p) H.264 decoder and no H.265 decoder - UVD3.1 To utilize full VAAPI you need Polaris card, which has FullHD H.264 and H.265 decoders - UVD6.3 Southern Islands can perfectly decode 1080p streams. There is something Hans nevers manage to find which prevents Southern Islands from decoding correctly 1080p videos (and even some 720p videos whereas CPU usage is still low). Here are the capabilities of an R7 250 (from AI since I did no want to look out for many sites right now): Quote: 1. Capabilities of the R7 250
The R7 250 has the UVD (Unified Video Decoder) block, version 4.x.
It can hardware decode Full HD 1920×1080 videos in: * H.264/AVC (common in .mp4, .mkv, Blu-ray) * MPEG-2 * VC-1
When playing back supported 1080p H.264, CPU usage typically drops to just a few percent.
2. Important limitations
No hardware decoding support for HEVC/H.265, VP9, or AV1 on this generation.
If your video is encoded in H.265 (common for recent encodes), decoding will mostly rely on the CPU.
It is optimized for 8-bit H.264; exotic profiles (high profiles, 10-bit, very high bitrates) may also fallback partially to CPU. What's more, the driver crashes with a grey screen without any reason afters having watcheds one or two videos. Hans explained he never found why this behaviour was occuring and advised to switch to an RX card.
