Stateless V4L2 Video Encoding - Linux Kernel Implementation and Future Directions

Explore the world of stateless V4L2 video encoding in this informative conference talk by Andrzej Pietrasiewicz from Collabora. Discover the key differences between stateful and stateless video codecs, and understand the advantages of the stateless approach. Gain insights into Andrzej's experience with a VP8 stateless encoder integrated peripheral and learn about the current open-source userspace software available for stateless VP8 encoding. Delve into the development of the corresponding upstream kernel driver and examine the proposed encoding uAPI. Understand the concept of rate control and its implementation for stateless video encoders. Conclude by exploring potential future directions for stateless video encoding in Linux, providing a comprehensive overview of this cutting-edge technology in video processing.
