The NVIDIA-VAAPI-Driver 0.0.15 was released overnight as this VA-API driver implementation built atop NVIDIA's NVDEC interface used by their proprietary user-space driver stack.

The purpose of NVIDIA-VAAPI-Driver as this community open-source project continues to be around enabling video acceleration for NVIDIA GPUs with the Firefox web browser on Linux that supports the VA-API interface but not NVIDIA's NVDEC.

This driver is particularly useful in scenarios where you want to leverage the hardware acceleration of NVIDIA GPUs for video decoding within Firefox, without having to rely on NVIDIA's proprietary implementations.
