Exactly the situation when DVD on the PC premiered circa 1998. Now, 10 years later, $60 motherboards that integrate graphics, audio, networking, all the regular motherboard stuff, and a CPU - again, for $60 - can decode a DVD in software without so much as a single dropped frame. Anything more expensive does it with single digit CPU load. Hardware h.264 acceleration is an early-adopter problem. --tim _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
