Hi has anyone looked at the potential of using an approach similar to Directshow->x264 encode, but using openvideo http://developer.amd.com/sdks/AMDAPP...Decode_API.PDF API.

I know that OpenVideo is AMD specific, however further research leads me to find that OpenMAX AL/IL/DL will provide hardware accelerated decoding which could then be fed straight into x264 rather than using Directshow - which is only as good as the weakest link, and by that I mean it cannot get hardware acceleration as the whole process cannot use DXVA.

So .. just thought I through this potential method out there and see what the developer and others think about this process.

I have already seen this - and tested it as well, its pretty quick (but I'd prefer a similar method using x264 for end result); http://bluesky23.yu-nagi.com/en/index.html#AsVideoConv
