To make a graphics/video chip that you can actually use.
nvidia binary has atleast mpeg2 hardware assist, maybe mpeg4 too, but nobody uses it? I think Unichrome has mpeg4 assist too, and it might have some use, since Via made a fork of xine that supports it... I've not heard of any h264 decoding help under Linux, except of course colourspace transform that's usable for all codecs. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
