[VDPAU] 答复: about VdpPresentationQueueSetBackgroundColor

[JuneyWang at viatech.com.cn]

Dear Stephen,

Thank you very much for your reply and answer to my question.
I'm clear about the R/G/B components which will be used as color key in overlay path.
I'm just confused about the alpha channel of background. According to your answer, the alpha is ignored. 
But if application wants overlay-based presentation queue to have some degree of transparency with the video window area desktop(which means to compose video with the desktop),
How do you achieve that?

Thank you very much again and sorry for interrupting you
Juney

Sorry, I don't have any insight into why Flash Player is putting any particular value in the alpha channel. For the R/G/B components, I expect they aren't "not setting" the other values, but rather they are deliberately setting them to 0.0 in order to get a black background. I don't recommend that since black is a rather common color, and that will cause an overlay-based presentation queue to "show through" windows other than the video window. A close-to-black-but-uncommon color would be a better choice if you want a black background, or better yet, just don't call this API.
