How to use this extension? #1

There are a few questions I am puzzled with, since this is the first time diving into this. 1) Is this extension enough alone, or do we need to pull in opengl extension as well 2) What about vdpau? What if hardware doesn't support vaapi but vdpau and I pull in this extension, what happens then?

There is no OpenGL extension for Intel hardware, this just gets installed and then VAAPI is supported.

What about vdpau?

VPDAU isn't natively supported by Intel and IME the driver that converts it to OpenGL is not good. So it simply isn't supported which is fine because I don't know of anything that supports VDPAU but not VAAPI.

What if hardware doesn't support vaapi but vdpau and I pull in this extension, what happens then?

You waste 15MB of space.
