VP9 & AV1 Vulkan Video Extensions Expected Next Year

The point is not having "ffmpeg and/or NVDEC or whatever". The point is in having a unified API (yes, cue xkcd://standards).

But that's not a thing. Only people dreaming. It's just like https://xkcd.com/927/

But this standard will be supported by every GPU, and the same VA-API, VDPAU can be implemented on its basis, similar to dxvk, vk3d, zink.

MKV doesn't magically handle newer codecs. It has to be extended. Way to completely miss the point.

Nothing magic it was build to support any future codec by just having any feature the devs could thing of at the time (VFR for example). The thing is, it can be extended with any codec you wish. No reason why this shouldn't be possible for a video API.
