> But AMD GPUs still only do h.264

Ryzen 4750U on a T14 reporting in:

mpv also reports "Using hardware decoding (vaapi)." when I try to play an HEVC file.


Ah it looks like I was mistaken, they've had h265 encoding and decoding support for a while. Not sure where my brain got this idea from, I even have an AMD gpu atm.
