I also stumbled over the issue of planar texture resources, and solved it by implementing an abstraction class that uses up to three separate textures to emulate the behaviour of an YV12 or NV12 texture. If a hardware driver has native support for planar buffers it should be easy to override the creation function and use a native buffer instead. So things like: native idct -> shader base mc or shader based idct -> native mc should now be easily possible. But there is still allot of work todo. Regards, Christian. </blockquote></div> Yes, I got MC working on nv50 but couldn't get the iDCT to work properly. I still need to send in the patches for what I did accomplish. Should I send them to the mesa-dev mailing list and just label them as being for the pipe-video branch? Regards, Bryan
