Originally posted by Panix View PostNo. ATI ONLY supports Windows. ATI claims open source support but won't even support UVD. ATI supports video decoding and hardware acceleration in Windows but can't do the same with the Catalyst driver, at least? There's only limited open source support and it's slow and only limited manpower.
The evil Nvidia at least has drivers that work to some degree, no or little tearing, driver bugs that get fixed at some sort of timeline and yes, it's supporting Windows mostly, too but they keep up with Xserver. AMD doesn't want to fund ATI or something because the ATI excuse is usually not enough funding.

xvba_video: driver does not support H.264 content over [email protected]. Please upgrade.
Hey there. I have a Radeon HD 5770, and I'm trying to make it decode x264 video for me. I'm running Gentoo x64.
I've set up x11-libs/xvba-video-0.8.0, and x11-libs/libva-1.0.15. I also have media-video/ffmpeg-0.7.7 and media-video/vlc-1.1.12 compiled with the vaapi flag. Oh, and I also have x11-drivers/ati-drivers-11.11.
With most of my files, VLC plays them perfectly using my GPU. :-)
Code:avcodec decoder: Using VA API version 0.32 for hardware decoding.
In the console, I get this error:
Code:xvba_video: driver does not support H.264 content over [email protected]. Please upgrade.
Here is the full VLC console output:
