Is AMD ever going to fix the video playback issues with Radeon HD2600 series of cards on both Windows and Linux?
This is what I'm talking about:
Here's a screenshot of a HD2600 card playing a video (Windows XP SP3) with the VMR renderer (the only way to get DXVA video acceleration under XP):
The video is totally screwed up and CPU usage goes sky high (80-100% CPU),way higher that with the legacy renderer.
On Linux,the problem with Xv playback in Xine is a bit different:
Symptoms are zoomed in video with thick "scanlines".
(sorry,I can't provide a Linux screenshot at the moment)
Looks like some kind of bug in the AMD drivers making these cards unusable for video playback (which is their main purpose)
[UPDATE]: The video corruption under WinXP is not a bug (it's fixed now).The only real issue is the broken WMV acceleration (high CPU usage)
