Note for Users of Intel® oneAPI Video Processing Library (oneVPL) and for Intel® Media SDK oneVPL is now called the Intel® Video Processing Library (Intel® VPL). The library will no longer be part of the oneAPI specification so that Intel can focus on providing video processing features on Intel GPUs. Intel VPL version 2.x is an API that is the successor to Intel® Media SDK. The Intel Media SDK project is no longer active and will not be updated. Packages and downloads are still available on GitHub*. For continued support and access to new features, Intel Media SDK users are encouraged to move to Intel VPL as soon as possible.
