Where do I get the headers for XvBA? I googled "XvBA SDK", but all the links lead back here or to your site.

[bridgman]

Right now you work with our embedded support group and sign an SDK agreement (basically a modified NDA that allows you to build the headers and other bits into your application).

We are working on making the headers and sample code available without NDA.

[HackerFoo]

I was just trying to run the test that gbeauche requested.

Let me know if you want me to test anything on my HD 6870 that doesn't require an NDA.

[bridgman]

I think gbeauche was asking you to test with his VA-API to XvBA interface, which does not require a separate copy of the headers.

[HackerFoo]

I was asking for the headers because hwdecode-demos would not configure XvBA without them.

Also, the linked download page lists the requirements as:

Requirements

    * For Crystal HD demos:
      Crystal HD SDK from GIT, as of 2010/02/15.
    * For VA-API demos:
          o libVA API >= 0.29.0-sds8 is required for 2D display.
          o libVA API >= 0.30.4-sds3 is required for 3D display.
      That's the API version, not the version of the packages.
    * For VDPAU demos:
      VDPAU SDK from any NVIDIA driver should fit as the source code
      uses the bare initial API.
    * For XvBA demos:
          o XvBA SDK >= 0.73 is required for 2D display.
          o XvBA SDK >= 0.74 is required for 3D display.

[bridgman]

Ahh, OK, I see.

I believe you are trying to run the demos against XvBA, but gbeauche is asking you to run the VA-API demos over the 0.7.6.pre3 VA-API to XvBA library.

You need the headers to run native XvBA but should not need them to run against VA-API.

My version of libGL doesn't seem to match up.
