Hi,

I am not sure if this is the proper place to report this, so feel free to send
me somewhere else and I apologize in advance.

I am on the Mesa 11.0.4 r600 driver with the following device:
00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]
Wrestler [Radeon HD 7340]
and Xorg 1.17.3. (Arch Linux with testing repository enabled, everything
up-to-date).

vdpauinfo reports (see attachment) that the H.264 profiles H264_BASELINE,
H264_MAIN, and H264_HIGH are supported for VDPAU hardware acceleration.
However, H264_CONSTRAINED_BASELINE is marked "not supported". Now, if the
Wikipedia article about H.264 profiles is to be believed [1], the constrained
profile only needs a "subset of features that are in common between the
Baseline, Main, and High Profiles." Consequently, I would expect
H264_CONSTRAINED_BASELINE to be supported, as well.

See also the bug report I filed for mpv a few weeks ago [2].

Moreover, H264_PROGRESSIVE_HIGH and H264_CONSTRAINED_HIGH seem to be "Similar
to the High profile, but without support of field coding features." and
"Similar to the Progressive High profile, but without support of B
(bi-predictive) slices." respectively. However, vdpauinfo reports "not
supported" for both.

As I am writing this, I also notice that VC1_ADVANCED is supported, but
VC1_MAIN and VC1_SIMPLE are not. Reading [3], I would expect the same reasoning
to apply.

Is there something I am missing?
