      Tbh, I kinda doubt it and I kinda wish it could be. Given the standpoints of certain vendors (read; NVIDIA) of not supporting VA-API but instead doing their own thing (VDPAU). I expect a similar situation as it is right now. Intel, AMD ( / Radeon) and some of the smaller vendors like Qualcomm and MediaTek embracing Vulkan Video but NVIDIA refusing to do anything except the things they put forth themself.

          Not yet, there's no encoder support.

              From the article: "The Khronos Group also highlighted the beta drivers available from NVIDIA and AMD"

                It's absolutely disgraceful that they didn't focus on the royalty-free open video standards first. It should have been the other way around. First support AV1 and VP9, and deal with the patent-encumbered and royalty-laden standards later.

                    Oh wow! I stand corrected (I totally missed that in the article). But I am genuinely surprised that NVIDIA built support for this into their drivers, even going back all the way to Maxwell.

                    This is genuinely a step forward into the right direction (a unified video decode and encode path for Linux).
