I'm also highly confused by this. Why are there VDPAU, VA-API, OMX? What software does really utilise AMD UVD, VCE, Nvidia NVENC, PureVideo and Intel's de-/encooder?
Is there any api that works cross-vendor, cross-platform for video stuff just like OpenGL for 3D graphics? Is there any app/lib that works for all?
Also, as we are speaking about AMD here, is there any table or overview for uvd/vce versions and their capabilities? Sure, there are the introducing pages
But these are not very helpful. I'm thinking of a table stating which codec with which bitrate, resolution, refresh rate etc. is supported by which GPU/APU.
