So apparently the Vulkan graphics API is getting its own video codec extensions for encode/decode, which means portable programs targeting Vulkan graphics wouldn't have to dive into platform-specific video acceleration APIs to access the hardware-supported codecs supplied by the video driver.

This includes now an AV1 decoder extension; AV1 is the royalty-free open codec that the industry is starting to rally around, so this is a Big Win For Our Side. <3

Neat!

do architects get paid a royalty for every monetary transaction that occurs in a building that they designed?

or is it only operating systems that work that way
