Executive Summary AMD's VCE (Video Coding Engine) is a hardware-accelerated video encoder/decoder block found in AMD GPUs. On Linux, while AMD's open-source drivers ( amdgpu ) support VCE for encoding , the term "VCE player" typically refers to video players that support VCE for hardware-accelerated decoding . vce player linux
