Intel ANV Driver Enables Vulkan Video AV1 Encoding For DG2/Alchemist GPUs Written by Michael Larabel in Intel on 12 August 2026 at 09:57 AM EDT. Add A Comment Hyunjun Ko of Igalia continues working on Vulkan Video support for Intel graphics hardware on Linux with the ANV driver. Merged now for Mesa 26.3-devel is enabling AV1 video encoding via Vulkan Video on DG2/Alchemist hardware. Intel Gen125 hardware now exposes AV1 video encoding with KHR_video_encode_av1 with Ko testing from DG2 Arc A-Series graphics cards. Since last year there's been Vulkan Video AV1 decode for Intel ANV while now AV1 encode is working too. This follows Hyunjun Ko last month adding H.265 10-bit video encoding to the ANV driver too.
