A first alpha of the HW video accelleration driver and infrastructure will be part of the next graphics driver (Alpha2) release which is expected to become available in WW38.
For Ubuntu the most interesting component will be the VA API in the form of libva since that will be open source and a first version (0.20) will be made available on freedesktop.org once the fdo sitewranglers process https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12305 The VA API has been expanded with additional video-postprocessing features such as subpicture support for subtitles. See http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/vaapi for the latest additions. At the development side, MPEG2 and MPEG4 support is complete in the Linux Poulsbo driver. Unfortunately we still have an unresolved issue that causes many of the larger video clips to fail under Linux. H264 support will be completed next.
