'''Video Code Engine''' ('''VCE''', was earlier referred to as '''Video Coding Engine''',<ref name="amd-introducing"/> '''Video Compression Engine'''<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.amd.com/en/media/43876/download|title=Product brief|website=amd.com}}</ref> or '''Video Codec Engine'''<ref>{{cite web|url=https://subscriptions.amd.com/newsletters/channelnews/pdf_guides/51884i_update_to_the_qrg_october2014.pdf |title=Updates|website=amd.com}}</ref> in official AMD documentation) is [[Advanced Micro Devices|AMD's]] [[video encoding]] [[application-specific integrated circuit]] implementing the [[video codec]] [[H.264/MPEG-4 AVC]]. Since 2012 it was integrated into all of their [[List of AMD graphics processing units|GPUs]] and [[List of AMD accelerated processing units|APUs]] except Oland.
 
VCE was introduced with the [[Radeon HD 7000 Seriesseries]] on 22 December 2011.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.amd.com/Documents/UVD3_whitepaper.pdf |title=White Paper AMD UnifiedVideoDecoder (UVD) |date=2012-06-15 |access-date=2017-05-20}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.anandtech.com/show/5261/amd-radeon-hd-7970-review/9 |title=AnandTech Portal &#124; AMD Radeon HD 7970 Review: 28nm And Graphics Core Next, Together As One |publisher=Anandtech.com |access-date=2014-03-27}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://techreport.com/review/22192/amd-radeon-hd-7970-graphics-processor/5 |title=AMD's Radeon HD 7970 graphics processor - The Tech Report - Page 5 |date=3 January 2012 |publisher=The Tech Report |access-date=2014-03-27}}</ref> VCE occupies a considerable amount of the [[die (integrated circuit)|die]] surface at the time of its introduction<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.abload.de/img/llano-blockdiagramm-95qhq1.jpg |title=AMD A-Series APU block diagram |date=2011-06-30 |access-date=2015-01-22}}</ref> and is not to be confused with AMD's [[Unified Video Decoder]] (UVD).
 
As of [[AMD Raven Ridge]] (released January 2018), UVD and VCE were succeeded by [[Video Core Next]] (VCN).

It, together with [[Unified Video Decoder|UVD]] 6.0, can be found on 3rd generation of Graphics Core Next (GCN3) with "Tonga", "Fiji", "Iceland", and "Carrizo" (VCE 3.1) based graphics controller hardware, which is now used [[AMD Radeon Rx 300 Seriesseries]] (Pirate Islands GPU family) and VCE 3.4 by actual [[AMD Radeon Rx 400 Seriesseries]] and [[AMD Radeon 500 Seriesseries]] (both Polaris GPU family).
