``auto`` tries to automatically enable hardware decoding using the first
available method. This still depends what VO you are using. For example,
- if you are not using ``--vo=vdpau``, vdpau decoding will never be enabled.
- Also note that if the first found method doesn't actually work, it will
- always fall back to software decoding, instead of trying the next method.
-
- The ``vaapi-copy`` function allows you to use vaapi with any VO. Because
- this copies the decoded video back to system RAM, it's quite inefficient.
