Last I read, OGC is not going to have an mpeg decoder, and even the hw scaler has been dropped.
Where did you read this stuff? First of all, we're accelerating an important part of MPEG decoding in a very generic way. People on this list have told me that YUV/RGB conversion is computationally expensive and would help significantly with video playback. Secondly, we have always intended that we would use the drawing engine to scale video, and it will scale it just fine. And don't bother me about video backend scalers. The trend lately in GUI design is to have applications draw directly into back buffers (they think it's the screen, and it's all hardware accelerated). Then in a separate step, the GUI system composites them all together onto the screen. This makes it possible to scale up and down ANY window, not just video playback. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
