After a couple of years waiting for accelerated video decode and rendering on GPU I've finally run out of patience. My R600 based card did a decent job with non-HD source material but 1080i deinterlace and rendering is less than optimal.
I've ordered up a NVIDIA GT520 card and will be installing that in the next couple of days. I hate this. The Gallium driver architecture is the first sane approach to video on Linux I've seen. Unfortunately, the performance is sucky for HTPC applications. Bleh. Back to the blob.
Has anyone heard of any pending work for VDPAU/pipe-video? I've been building Mesa from git for the last couple of years and have not seen any new commits for video in quite some time. Also, is there any news on AMD opening up UVD2?
