v1.5.0

Intel® Video Processing Library (Intel® VPL) tools provide access to hardware accelerated video decode, encode, and frame processing capabilities on Intel® GPUs from the command line.

Added

• New environment variables to override default sync operation
  timeout in sample_decode and sample_vpp
• New command-line option in vpl-import-export example to select
  codec for encode (-e) and screen capture (-c) modes
• New command-line option in vpl-import-export example to set
  maximum number of captured frames
• New strings in vpl-inspect tool to improve readability of output
• New logging in sample_vpp when FRC or SR filters are enabled

Changed

• Default codec in vpl-import-example for encode and screen capture
  modes to H.264 (previously H.265)
• Minimum alignment for screen capture in vpl-import-example to
  8 pixels (previously 16)
• Removed bit shift for Y210 output in sample_decode file writer,
  to align behavior with sample_vpp and sample_multi_transcode

Fixed

• Compile error with gcc-15
