Do Intel® Arc™ GPUs support VVC (H.266) and is there a firmware update for this?
Intel® Arc™ Discrete GPUs do not support the VVC (H.266) codec as it does not have the hardware to support it, thus no firmware update will enable this.
For reference, please check this: intel/media-driver: Intel Graphics Media Driver to support hardware decode, encode and video processing - under "Decoding/Encoding Features".
