从阅读 ffmpeg 文档开始:https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/HWAccelIntro 和更好的答案 How to use hardware acceleration with ffmpeg(对于 linux 检查页面 https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Hardware_video_acceleration)
在使用 FFmpeg 工具时,通过-hwaccel 选项启用硬件辅助解码,该选项启用特定解码器。每个解码器可能有特定的限制(例如,H.264 解码器可能只支持基线配置文件)。通过使用特定编码器(例如 h264_nvenc)启用硬件辅助编码。仅少数过滤器支持过滤硬件辅助处理。
有多种硬件加速标准 API,其中一些在某种程度上得到 FFmpeg 的支持。
hwaccel 激活由类似代码控制(2013 年后重新格式化https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/commit/08303d774132775d49d4ba767092de5d426f089d)
avctx->hwaccel = ff_find_hwaccel(avctx->codec->id, avctx->pix_fmt);
例如在 libavcodec/mpeg12dec.c https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/blob/6c7254722ad43712db5686feee8bf75c74d8635b/libavcodec/mpeg12dec.c
avctx->pix_fmt = mpeg_get_pixelformat(avctx);
avctx->hwaccel = ff_find_hwaccel(avctx->codec->id, avctx->pix_fmt);
ff_find_hwaccel 检查图像的编解码器和像素格式对以及所有可用的硬件加速器。
AVHWAccel *ff_find_hwaccel(enum CodecID codec_id, enum PixelFormat pix_fmt)
{
AVHWAccel *hwaccel=NULL;
while((hwaccel= av_hwaccel_next(hwaccel))){
if ( hwaccel->id == codec_id
&& hwaccel->pix_fmt == pix_fmt)
return hwaccel;
}
return NULL;
}
例如,dxva2 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectX_Video_Acceleration) 有:
AVHWAccel mpeg2_dxva2_hwaccel = {
.name = "mpeg2_dxva2",
.type = AVMEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO,
.id = CODEC_ID_MPEG2VIDEO,
.pix_fmt = PIX_FMT_DXVA2_VLD,
.capabilities = 0,
.start_frame = start_frame,
.decode_slice = decode_slice,
.end_frame = end_frame,
.priv_data_size = sizeof(struct dxva2_picture_context),
};
libavutil/pixfmt.h 按像素格式列出所有支持的硬件解码器/加速器https://ffmpeg.org/doxygen/3.2/pixfmt_8h.html

像素格式的实际选择在 ff_find_hwaccel 之前调用的函数中,对于 mpeg1/2,libavcodec/mpeg12dec.c 的 static enum PixelFormat mpeg_get_pixelformat(AVCodecContext *avctx)。在 ffmpeg/libavcodec 的早期版本中,它会检查 avctx->xvmc_acceleration 和/或 avctx->codec->capabilities&CODEC_CAP_HWACCEL_VDPAU 或调用 avctx->get_format(avctx,ff_hwaccel_pixfmt_list_420); 以在某些情况下启用硬件解码。
在最近的版本(2017)中,它和几个附近的功能做硬件编码器https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/blob/aff8cf18cb0b1fa4f2e3d163c3da2f25aa6d1906/libavcodec/mpeg12dec.c#L1189的选择。
基本上:硬件解码器及其 api(过时的XVMC、VDPAU、VA API、MS DXVA 或 MS Direct3D11 或 videotoolbox)应该在您的 ffmpeg 和 supported by your hardware 构建中启用它的驱动程序/库(许多是专有的,应单独下载)。有时应将-hwaccel 选项提供给ffmpeg,或加载插件。在 linux 中,您可以使用 vainfo 和 vdpauinfo 命令来测试可用性和支持的配置文件以及最流行的标准视频硬件解码 API。
输入文件(对于 mpeg1/2)不应为灰度,它应具有小于 2 的 s->chroma_format(4:2:0 Chroma subsampling,这对于 ISO/IEC MPEG 和 ITU-T VCEG H. 26x;但不适用于某些 MPEG-4 Part 2,也不适用于 H.264/MPEG-4 AVC 的高 4:4:4 变体。
