Don't think it's VDPAU directly..this would make it nVidia only with
only low level driver.<br>
The idea is to use VA-API layer so this could work with more hardware.<br>
Also allows others apps to use GPU processing without building in
direct low level drivers.<br>
Disclaimer: This could be wrong.<br>
<br>
Where does fit with openCL, CUDA & openGL & ATI's firestarter ??<br>
<br>
Have read (& not understood much) on mplayer & VLC forums etc..<br>
that OpenCL is not intended, so much for real time video, but to be an
API layer on CUDA (& the ATI version).<br>
This could also be wrong...<br>
<br>
If ffmpeg sorted out the GPU processing for transcoding this would be a
truly enormous step forward for all the other apps that use it.<br>
Maybe the transcoding & real-time video decoding could be dealt
with in different ways on the GPU.<br>
Very big undertaking & of course it all has to be written in C..<br>

<pre wrap="">It might interest some list members that it seems vdpau is coming to VLC 1.1 - which might not be too far away.
