Yep. Offloading the work to the hardware may get around that. IANAL though. But not having a software fallback for patent reasons isn't very nice. Especially on the decoding end. Encoding without hardware support probably isn't very useful anyway. cheers, Gerd What about hardware acceleration with the actual codec (mjpeg) or vp8 or vp9 codec? Unfortunately, from what I have seen until now cpu is overloaded without a dedicated video codec hardware acceleration, which renders spice client performances very poor even if on medium/high range thin client and unusable with a low end ones. Thanks for any reply. |
