A list of NVidia hardware capabilities is here: http://www.nvidia.com/page/purevideo_support.html As for current XvMC support, only IDCT and Motion Compensation with MPEG2 (and possibly MPEG1) are available in hardware - no hw deinterlacing. Full support may happen eventually, judging by a comment here from NVidia staff: http://macslow.thepimp.net/ (see bottom of "UDS 2006 recap, Google, nVIDIA etc." article.) "Furthermore I hinted them towards us OpenSource folks wanting to see nVIDIA?s PureVideo HD chip-features exposed in the Linux-drivers too. They have plans for that, but not in the immediate future."
