It's the same. The fd.o git repository is exactly the same as:
<http://code.splitted-desktop.com/git/?p=xvba-video.git;a=summary>

The fd.o git is the new reference. This also means there won't be any
precompiled binaries & packages. I don't think we have any allocated
storage on the webserver. Though, I don't know of a single
distribution that doesn't ship with libva and VA drivers nowadays. So,
it's hoped they would update their binaries from fd.o.

Not XvBA 0.75 specs yet. So, no MPEG-2 VLD or MPEG-4 decoding.

Gwenole.
