NVIDIA Lands AV1 VDPAU Hardware Acceleration In FFmpeg

Decoding is not interesting to me. A good CPU can handle it. Hardware accelerated encoding on the other hand would enable some real useful use cases especially if it was realtime and the quality was customizable.

This has got to be the first time I ever see anyone thanking Nvidia within the Linux community.

Official VM support for their gaming cards is another reason Nvidia gets a big "Thank you!" from me.
And no, before they started supporting it officially all I got was a bluescreen (in the VM) when I got all the workarounds right. After VM support came the driver loaded, but HDMI output didn't work. The driver after that fixed even my HDMI output. Now it's perfect. The way it's meant to be played.
