Very high interest, and I had heard rumors of this, but unfortunately, the rumors also said that it's an undocumented API that you can only get access to by signing an NDA, and my lack of ability to find any mention of it whatsoever outside of the context of the afore-mentioned release notes seems to confirm that. I hope I'm wrong, because I'd gladly take advantage of something like that if it was possible to do so from within an open source library without running into IP issues. "Optionally encode" is of particular interest, because that implies that they're exposing their hardware-assisted H.264 codec. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Introducing Performance Central, a new site from SourceForge and AppDynamics.
