After reading this thread and bz 2123998, I had thought that the Fedora
37 mesa packages retained accelerated video for open codecs (for AMD
hardware). However, the Fedora wiki[1] indicates that even open codecs
are no longer accelerated without third party packages. Is that true?
(I don't think that I can test this, since I don't have any AMD GPUs,
only Intel.)
This is not true. However, until recently, support for hardware
accelerated open codecs was limited to Intel QuickSync Video, which is
blocked on the VA-API driver landing in Fedora[1].
AMD VP9 decoding was added in VCN 1.0:
