Just stumbled upon this ticket http://www.openchrome.org/trac/ticket/4 
"Add xvmc-mpeg4 support".
It was assigned 2 years ago but nothing seems to have happened. Can we 
please get a status update on this issue from the developers? Is this a 
problem with lack of development resources or missing VIA specs?
