This is usually only needed with broken GPUs, where a codec is reported
as supported, but decoding causes more problems than it solves.
+ .. note::
+
+ On some broken drivers (e.g. NVIDIA on Linux), probing for codecs which
+ the GPU does not support can unnecessarily slow down video playback
+ initialization. To alleviate this, explicitly specify a list which
+ only includes the codecs supported on the setup.
+
.. admonition:: Example
- ``mpv --hwdec=vdpau --vo=vdpau --hwdec-codecs=h264,mpeg2video``
+ ``mpv --hwdec=vdpau --hwdec-codecs=h264,mpeg2video``
Enable vdpau decoding for h264 and mpeg2 only.
