Guys, please enlighten the rest of us because I'm actually quite confused here.
Is Cedrus/VPDAU related to 3D HW Acceleration?
I just took a quick look at it, and this is from the sunxi page:
It seems to me it refers to hardware acceleration of video decoding/encoding. If it is so, then I think we are talking about something entirely different. All the Mali stuff is not related to video decoding. From Wikipedia (Mali):
Can you confirm this? If this is the case, then this thread needs to be split into two different threads: Video decoding/encoding and 3D Hardware Acceleration. And that will clear up about 80% of the discussions in this thread.

Quote:Cedrus is a project intended for fully 100% libre and open source software, for using the hardware accelerated video decoding/encoding engine found in sunxi devices.

Quote:Instead the Mali ARM core is a pure 3D engine that renders graphics into memory and hands the rendered image over to another core that handles the display.
