FFmpeg 8.1 just got released! I wrote a piece about the Vulkan compute codecs for the Khronos blog:

Video Encoding and Decoding with Vulkan Compute Shaders in FFmpeg

In this blog we explore how FFmpeg uses Vulkan Compute to seamlessly accelerate encoding and decoding of even professional-grade video on consumer GPUs — unlocking GPU compute parallelism at scale, without specialized hardware. This approach complements Vulkan Video's fixed-function codec support, extending acceleration to formats and workflows it doesn't cover.
