Originally posted by deanjo View PostVA-API at that point was essentially dead, abandoned, very incomplete (not to mention extremely shitty documentation) and a lot of the times it is quicker and more efficient to go another route (as was the case here). It wasn't until vdpau came out and Nvidia showed them up that they started to breath some life back into it.

Am I not being clear here?
1. VA-API comes out with a partially functional WIP.
2. NVidia decides that it's easier to make their own rather than improve the existing work
3. They're successful
4. The VA-API developers continue to work on their own code, rather than dropping all their work and switching to another codebase they are less familiar with
5. The VA-API developers are accused of NIH-syndrome.
That last bit is just stupid. If you're arguing otherwise, then I'm not sure we have anything more to discuss, because we're clearly not seeing eye to eye on this. I have no problems with what NVidia did, but to complain that everyone else hasn't dropped what they were already working on to dance to NVidia's tune? Ridiculous.

If you believe VA-API was featureless for a long time. How come didn't we see any contributions from you to enhance the API? It's always easier to whine after something came out and also simpler to improve after others' experience. In other words, why didn't we see you design something comparable to VDPAU in the first place either?
