One thing to consider is whether is would be possible to use the video
board to decode JPG and JP2 still pictures. And, place them on the

If we can do it without too much grief, sure. But it isn't important
to offload the main CPU decoding a single image. It is the 24-60 fps
that requires offloading.
Decoding and resizing a large JPG image does take a while even on a 1
GHz system. If you have hardware scaling and IDCT, it is going to run
much faster.
I don't know if that hardware would speed up JP2, which seems to run
very slowly on my system, or not.
