If you still want to get it working, Gears on Gallium is pretty helpful for getting it running - they have config files that one can use as a template, as well as gstreamer command lines that more or less work.
If I remember correctly, what I did to get it working was first to ensure that my kernel loads the VCE firmware (okay, that wasn't first - I realized it didn't after several hours of miraculous gstreamer errors). Then of course OpenMAX support has to be compiled in mesa. One mustn't forget to register all available omx components with omxil-bellagio. To get the gstreamer-omx plugin working (which one of course first has to install), one needs the /etc/xdg/gstomx.conf file (have a look at the files they have at gears on gallium). That should remove the blacklisting of the gst-omx plugin. Then one needs to figure how to write a gstreamer pipeline that works with gst-omx. It took me quite a while, and as I'm not at home, I sadly cannot look up how I got it working. Again, at gears on gallium they have some working gstreamer pipelines somewhere on their page...

I think there is a chromium-ffmpeg package in ubuntu repos, but it seems it is already statically-linked in chromium https://codereview.chromium.org/1141703002/
Firefox uses ffmpeg since version 43 http://news.softpedia.com/news/firef...x-496213.shtml
If that works or not... I don't know.

Beyond that, there's VAAPI encoding patches on the mesa mailing list, when those land you'll be able to use the radeon encoder with ffmpeg.

Hello guys,
It is working all right with Intel hardware (Haswell on my testbed) and I've written instructions to get it to work here: https://gist.github.com/Brainiarc7/9...b2931bed379219

You can now use VAAPI to accelerate H.264 encoding (as tested) in ffmpeg via the h264_vaapi encoder, and I've written instructions to get it to work here: https://gist.github.com/Brainiarc7/9...b2931bed379219
