[gst-devel] gst-plugins-gl, OpenGL and stuff

[KwangYul Seo]

Hi,

Do you have any progress in forming a Linux+Video+OpenGL working group?

Currently I am looking for a colorspace conversion solution implemented
using OpenGL. It is not hard to find one, but most solutions use high-end
video card extensions and do not provide any software fallback.

I think we must build reusable software to do low level tasks such as image
composition, video mixsing and colorspace conversion which are repeated over
and over again in constructing various video applications.

Regards,
Kwang Yul Seo
