Dear Tino and Marc,


thanks for your answers.

Sorry, I am not so familiar with this stuff, so it would be nice if you
could clarify this.

The word »still« is a bit confusing for me. Does this mean (a) Intel
graphics GMA950 could help with H.264 decoding and the drivers do not
support it yet or (b) the Intel graphics GMA950 is not capable of
helping with H.264 decoding?


Thanks,

Paul
