No X.org developer has gotten the XvMC info for any chip, the old SDKs
contained a binary blob that you could use in theory...

I've RE'ed the blob and hacked up something a long time ago on r200,
but it was never suitably legal and I had no idea about MPEG at the
time.

however AMD hope to release some info on this at some point, but it'll
be down  the list of  things..
