For legacy devices, VP8/VP9 is a good option. Intel Added VP8 hardware decoding to Broadwell which was 12 years ago. Nvidia had hardware VP9 decoding 10 years ago on the Geforce 10 series. AMD had hardware VP9 decode support 9 years ago on the Radeon 400 series.

If my 10 year old card can't encode in hardware, it's a nonstarter.

I still happily use my 2012 27" iMac for all my work. So I'm with the parent comment.
