And I was just about to get exited, until I read this: XvMC issues ● Limited hardware driver support – Intel i810, i915/945 MC, 965 MC working in progress – Unichrome VLD – ATI, Nvidia (?) ● Limited modern video codec support, just for MPEG1/2, can't support H.264/AVC. – Multiple intra/inter prediction modes (multiple motion vector styles) – Multiple reference pictures – No in-loop filter
So it appears there is no hope for my old machine with an AGP port, and nvidia G-Force 4 MMX 440. Looks like I will have to upgrade, but the craze will have to settle first before I buy anything. I wonder why they don't create add-on cards in PCI format? so that it will work on older machines? I guess they want you to upgrade to keep on making money... Isn't there a method to use OpenGL to assist HD decoding?
