Maybe it's time for a single article saying "FFMPEG 3.5 has lots of cool shit coming soon!" that summarizes everything coming soon. So you don't have 5 different articles basically saying "FFMPEG 3.5 has some new stuff!" for each new thing....

This is awesome. Basically, sounds like they're paving the way for all sorts of OpenCL-based processing filters (and encoders?), regardless of whatever decoder or other filters you might be using.

It seems you're new to Phoronix.

Go opencl go!
It would be better to have a less cuda-dependant ecosystem.
