Unless you use vdpau

I don't run myth but it would be interesting to know how well this
works for it. It looks pretty easy to compile in and turn on.
"not very well".
Only with specific codecs and settings.

Again I don't use Myth but doesn't it just do mpeg? It seems to me that
if they took the time to make a wiki on how to set it up then it might
work well for at least a default myth, maybe adding avi might generate
issues I don't know.

I believe I've listed the "specific," codecs that VDPAU can accelerate many
times. They are the most common codecs, and the ones that you'll actually
need acceleration for. They include VC1/WMV9, H.264, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4
part 2. ANY acceleration is just going to target "specific," codecs. I
believe you were trying to imply limited - and I'd like to know what else
you think would need acceleration. What do you mean by "not very well"?
Which settings are you referring to?
