    Phoronix: AMD Open-Sources Advanced Media Framework, But No Linux Support Yet

      I noticed they have a tendency to open-source things that never really took off and they don't care enough about to maintain. Makes sense, but I wish they'd realize ahead of time that some of these projects of theirs failed before they began. Even Nvidia has a hard time doing this, and they have a greater marketshare. I'd rather AMD focus their developers on drivers rather than platform-specific APIs.

        I hope this brings VCE Support to ffmpeg ... nvenc is for a long time in ffmpeg. I only miss the gpu resize patches in the upstream ffmpeg.

          Very portable. From the GpuOpen-Site, only Windows is supported.
