OS Support
- Windows - supported since the launch of the technology. UVD currently only supports DXVA (DirectX Video Acceleration) API specification for the Microsoft Windows and Xbox 360 platforms to allow video decoding to be hardware accelerated, thus the media player software also has to support DXVA to be able to utilize UVD hardware acceleration.
- Linux - since Oct 2008. XvBA (X-Video Bitstream Acceleration) API as designed by AMD for its Radeon GPU is a future extension of the X video extension (Xv) for the X Window System on Linux and UNIX operating-systems that will enable UVD hardware acceleration on those platforms as well.

Famous quotes containing the word support:
“All experience teaches that, whenever there is a great national establishment, employing large numbers of officials, the public must be reconciled to support many incompetent men; for such is the favoritism and nepotism always prevailing in the purlieus of these establishments, that some incompetent persons are always admitted, to the exclusion of many of the worthy.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
