Intel® Video Processing Library

Access Accelerated Decode, Encode, and Video Processing

Get the Most Out of Intel GPUs



The Intel® Video Processing Library (Intel® VPL) is part of a multilayer media portfolio that provides advanced access to specialized media hardware, plus encode, decode, and video processing features on Intel GPUs.  


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 The Intel Media SDK project is no longer active and will not be updated.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. 

Benefits

  • Boost media and video application performance with hardware-accelerated codecs and programmable graphics.
  • Improve frame rate (FPS) and lower power usage when compared to traditional CPUs
