Phoronix: FFmpeg Continues Working Its "NVDEC" NVIDIA Video Decoding Into Shape

Earlier this month the FFmpeg project landed its initial NVDEC NVIDIA video decoding support after already supporting NVENC for video encoding. These new NVIDIA APIs for encode/decode are part of the company's Video Codec SDK with CUDA and is the successor to the long-used VDPAU video decoding on NVIDIA Linux boxes. That NVDEC support has continued getting into shape...

Will there also be deinterlacing for nvdec?
