Not sure how that helps - VDPAU came out after XvBA development was finished.

Originally posted by Kano View PostThat was the biggest fault - xvba was not released and then it was more or less obsolete as vdpau was introduced in most media players. So in theory the best would be a native vdpau implemention in fglrx.
You just weren't part of those groups.Last edited by bridgman; 10 November 2009, 06:01 PM.Test signature

Apparently the decision also wasn't based on the goal of gaining wide adoption either.
These are the problems with closed-source development - pretty much no one gets to know about what you've done, and even if they know it's there, pretty much no one benefits from it. And if the company priorities change and the closed-source offering is withdrawn, all of that work goes down the drain, never again to see the light of day. Having seen that already happen to the last 2 proprietary projects I worked on (more than 10 years ago now) I will never work on anything closed source ever again. There's no reward, just a waste of a few years hard work.
