Comment #13 on issue 17765 by [email protected]: html5 video tag and 1080p or 720p h264 needs dxva support! http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=17765
Hey tommarnk, no real ETA yet! There's a lot of prep work that needs to be done before we can switch to DXVA. One of the biggest blockers is that the HTML page is composited in software and we'd suffer a heavy performance penalty reading the decoded video off the GPU during the composite. This means we need to switch to GPU compositing first, which is no small feat! I can't find a bug to reference for GPU compositing, but I do know people have been looking into it :) -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
