"Where did you get that information from?" Honestly, it is more of a guess. But my understanding is that QtWebKit uses GStreamer for media, and that GStreamer is in turn using the available platform resources in an efficient way. In contrast (still to my understanding that may be wrong) browsers such as Chrome and Fennec uses their own media frameworks that are in a much worse position when it comes to utilize platform specific capabilities.
If I'm wrong, please enlighten me! --Stefan On Wed, Aug 4, 2010 at 3:44 PM, Thiago Macieira <[email protected]> wrote: > On Wednesday 4.
