However there is no software support for the VP1 decoding engine, and according to all reports, it didn't make anything actually faster (on Windows). The MPEG decoding engine should work fine (via XvMC ... IIRC VDPAU didn't quite work, and XvMC is a better match anyways). This is all for accelerated video decoding, which is not in play for the videos you're talking about.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
