Thanks, Bridgman. That was realy clarifying ^^,

> we promised to *try*, no more.

Forgotten the famous Yoda saying, you have.

When I have a FLOSS driver that can decode video using UVD
I will go shopping for an ATI GPU card. If I live that long.

OK then, I take the previous comment back about promising to try.

We will do... or do not

Proprietary, darkside it is.

Bridgy man, use The Force!

Wow, talk about a blast from the past. I haven't used Reverse Polish Notation for maybe 30 years

And what is if the Driver Support video decoding with the Shaders?

@Nille,
Read the last two pages again. Bridgman already told why sole software only decoding was not an option.

It's not just for the HP calculator sitting in the drawer.
PostScript and dc(1) are RPN.

If decoding with shaders were good enough, then the UVD would not exist.

how lucky of me to have an IGP that does not have UVD :P ... I have nothing to wait for ... well shader acceleratrion sounds nice as this one will work for me .
