julius - Isn't that a Haswell processor? Ubuntu 13.04 was released with version 1.0.17-1 of the va-api driver. According to http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libva/2012-November/001420.html Haswell support was not added until version 1.0.19 of the va-api driver.
According to http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/gstreamer- devel/2013-April/040527.html MPEG-4:2 support was present in gstreamer- va-api 0.5.3 (earlier than I mentioned in comment #11). MPEG4 support seems to have been present since the original gstreamer-va-api release, but I'm unsure of which part of MPEG4. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to totem in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/997370 Title: Totem does not use the va-api gstreamer backend Status in Totem Movie Player: Confirmed Status in “gstreamer-vaapi” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “totem” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: installing gstreamer -vaapi from ubuntu repos breaks thumbnail generation in nautilus furthermore acceleration does not work in totem - cpu usage is as high as with software rendering. mplayer-vaapi works perfectly on the same system. gst-launch-0.10 -v filesrc location=~/test.mkv ! matroskademux ! vaapidecode ! vaapisink makes it possible to use vaapi via commandline i did not find a way to use vaapi for mpeg4 part 2 video streams. and i wasnt able to find proper values for gstreamer-properties that fix thumbnails and acceleration in totem. id like to share debug information. just tell me what you need.
