'''Video Code Engine''' ('''VCE''', was earlier referred to as '''Video Coding Engine''',<ref name="amd-introducing"/> '''Video Compression Engine'''<ref>https://www.amd.com/en/media/43876/download</ref> or '''Video Codec Engine'''<ref>https://subscriptions.amd.com/newsletters/channelnews/pdf_guides/51884i_update_to_the_qrg_october2014.pdf</ref> in official AMD documentation) is [[Advanced Micro Devices|AMD's]] [[video encoding]] [[Application-specific integrated circuit|ASIC]] implementing the [[video codec]] [[H.264/MPEG-4 AVC]]. Since 2012 it is integrated into all of their [[List of AMD graphics processing units|GPUs]] and [[AMD Accelerated Processing Unit|APUs]] except Oland.
