... you MUST start with your use case. What do you want to do with this in terms of video, start there !
There are MANY things you can do with video on the Pine board if you had a VDPAU browser.
The problems you were led to believe would be fixed with mail ARE NOT going to be fixed with mali.
Video as you imagined it on gnu+linux is NOT going to happen on gnu+linux any time soon! ...for several technical, legal, and philosophical|political reasons. Its time to stop going around the mulberry bush on this. Video on gnu+linux is NOT going to happen; unless, serious paid development takes place over the next 1-2 years and assuming that the system is opened up. Otherwise, what we are talking about is reverse engineering a closed system-- and that is not going to be solved here with all of this pointless bickering, by volunteers, in any short time-frame.
Mark, I'm going to assume you read my post completely.
The question for clarification sake is:
Is Cedrus/VDPAU equivalent to 3D Hardware Acceleration?
VDPAU from Wikipedia:
Quote:VDPAU allows video programs to access the PureVideo function blocks to offload portions of the video decoding process and video post-processing.[5][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VDPAU#cite_note-5][/url]
Why would asking in a forum for clarification be considered bickering??? Why don't we keep the discussion respectful and on topic?
Please note I'm trying to keep the discussion productive, because everybody will benefit from us discussing these things that cause confusion.
