Yup, that's pretty much how I'd envisaged it.

I think for interlaced video the only option really is to create two EGLImages as the two fields have to be displayed at different times. If the application wanted to display them progressively they'd have to run a de-interlacing filter over the two images. Perhaps writing such a filter as a GLSL shader might not be such a bad idea, but it's kinda the app's problem. Same deal with stereo.


Cheers,

Tom

PS: I've updated the spec and sent out a new draft.
