Hardware video codec

[jiyong]

Thanks for the help.
Looks like we were just verifying the Wiki. ;-)

This worked for me:

zgrep RK_VCODEC /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_RK_VCODEC=y

Benchmarking Big Buck Bunny full HD 60 Hz reports around 3 times speed.
CPU running at 408 MHz.

So that looks good.

Now the challenge to make programs like VLC and Kazam (screen recorder) to make use of it.
When I play Big Buck Bunny with VLC, the CPU jumps to 2 GHz.
Kazam doesn't record video with h264.
