    Is this to help fix the codec issues Proton has, or is that unrelated?

      Essentially, although it depends on the specific issue. I don’t think hardware decoding with Wine is well supported either, so this should help with performance in the case of slow CPUs (or very high resolution / frame rate video).

      If nothing else, the wrapper can just focus on translating to Vulkan Video, which should simplify things significantly.

    Very interesting. I think this would have less benefit in games and more in applications, but sounds like they know where the wins are.
