hi everyone, i've lost track of things about the subject, can you help me understanding what's the current situation? seems to me that xvba or whatever is now called (the ati proprietary-catalist-driver enabled hw decoding api) still is not useable and therefore even the va-api branch of mplayer are unable to tap into the video card video processing resources. is it true still? what do you think may happen in the near future? the question comes from the fact i'm planning to build a new htpc system or buy one, and lots of new "smallish" systems employ amd video hardware instead of nvidias; the "problem" is that i want to stick with linux+mplayer instead, but still be able to hw-decode hd videos .... thank you in advance
