[Openchrome-users] Anyone working on mpeg4, if so, I'd be happy to play 'tester'...

And remember the biggie..... it only accelerates h.263 NOT h.264.
No-one is broadcasting hdtv in h.263

Secondly..... there seem to be very few chips with the mpeg4 accel.. not 
all of the unichrome-pro's have it. It seems specific to the CN400.
So the combination of the fact that only a handful of boards will 
benefit from it and the limited usefulness of accelerating h263 anyway, 
mean the desire for spending that much time on it is reduced.
