Yeah, but...
VAAPI only has limited format support for now, patches for ffmpeg/mplayer have only just appeared and are not nearly ready, and the only card that supports it is Intel poulsbo, which is an extremely rare card and doesn't have opensource drivers even (unlike other intel cards). XvBA exists only as a library, which is for now useless. There's no documentation, header file or patches available so one could use it in opensource players. VDPAU however... is documented, and has a header file which allows you to compile support for it in opensource players. Nvidia themselves have provided patches for ffmpeg/mplayer and the community has already coded vdpau support into MythTV, VLC and xine. So, at least for now, VDPAU is the only one that matters, the only one already usable by mainstream users. One last thing, it's a minor thing, but it's there: DXVA doesn't support h264 videos beyond level 4.1; VDPAU doesn't have that restriction, at least when it comes to number of reference frames. |

I'm all for vdpau and use it every day, but is there really linux support in vlc? Is it in the main branch? Do you know how xine support is coming and if it's headed for the main branch? I would really love that so I can use it with miro.

You're a gentoo user aren't you? If so, there's a xine-vdpau ebuild available here. |

Gusar, level 4.1 is not a DXVA restriction... it's a decoder restriction. MPC-HC h.264 decoder can decode level 5.1 streams thru DXVA.

yeye69, is the "other feature" deinterlacing? It works in xine as well as mythtv right?
Gusar, thanks, I'm watching that thread very closely and I bet xine-vdpau shows up in the berkano overlay very soon. There is a xine-1.2 vdpau patch posted there now. Edit: Is anyone else using miro? |
