http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/ - "Why is hardware decoding of H.264 only supported on the Windows platform? In Flash Player 10.1, H.264 hardware acceleration is not supported under Linux and Mac OS. Linux currently lacks a developed standard API that supports H.264 hardware video decoding, and Mac OS X does not expose access to the required APIs. We will continue to evaluate when to support this feature on Mac and Linux platforms in future releases." (For video decoding acceleration, the competing Gnash project already uss the Intel-developed VAAPI which freedesktop.org has adopted; it has a VPDAU backend for NVIDIA and will probably become the de facto standard.) -Albert _______________________________________________ opensolaris-arc mailing list [email protected]
