Holy Crap! You Can Use XvMC With ATI Gallium3D!

I think the point is that once you know how to implement shader-assisted decode for one API and format then implementing it for another API or format is much less daunting.

But it's a start...!

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't XvMC only accelerate mpeg2?
As in one of the formats least needing acceleration?
I understand, that it can be done and it was fairly quickly implemented, but I don't get why people are rejoicing over this. Vdpau or Va-api yes, but this?

Heh... and just today I ordered a broadcom bcm970015 video decoder for my new (also ordered today) ITX-sempron-Radeon4200 htpc.... at this rate, it'll be able to handle high bitrate h264 split between the unlocked dual-core sempron 140 --> athlon2-X2-215 and the RHD4200....
I wonder if my laptop has a mini-PCIe slot...? Hmm... yep. It would appear that it does. Good, at least I'll get some value out of it.

Isn't that the point of the Gallium architecture?

This is great news indeed!
I own a X1600pro (AGP) that for sure can handle XvMC and accelerate H.264 (720p) content.
I'm wondering if there is (or will ever be) this kind support for R500 cards?
