Microsoft has announced the implementation of hardware acceleration support for video encoding and decoding in WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux), a layer for running Linux applications on Windows. This implementation enables the use of hardware acceleration for processing, encoding, and decoding video in any applications that support VAAPI. Acceleration is supported for AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA graphics cards.
GPU acceleration for video in the WSL Linux environment is provided through a D3D12 backend and a VAAPI frontend in the Mesa package, interacting with the D3D12 API using the DxCore library, which allows access to the GPU at the same level as native Windows applications.
