    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...!

    No, that's right. We are only closing the stable door after the horse has not only bolted, but settled down, raised foals and then died gracefully of old age. However, some of us have waited a very long time for the Open Source Radeon drivers to being implementing video acceleration. And it has finally begun... .

    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.

    I sure hope so.

    Isn't that the point of the Gallium architecture?

    I own a X1600pro (AGP) that for sure can handle XvMC and accelerate H.264 (720p) content.

    Yeah, me too!

    Keep up the good work guys!

    *Can't wait for h264 support! *
