I know VDPAU handles decode and presentation, but does it also have the API to support encoding as well? I've never heard of encoding through VDPAU, but maybe I just missed it somewhere.
Originally posted by Krejzi View PostIf I recall correctly, someone from AMD submitted a VA-API state tracker (probably resurected the removed one) for Mesa some time before first version of OpenMax one, but it seems nobody cared enough for it. If Radeon drivers expose UVD through VA-API (or is it the other way arround?) you could use VA-API for encoding.

Has anyone been able to actually use this to decode Hi10P content, with some sort of proof (screenshots, etc.)? Something thorough and hard, rather than the vague "someone's trying it out", or "someone reckoned that ultimately it didn't work"?
Really really really really interested in this. If it's real, it's the first 10-bit hw decoder. The world needs to know more about this!

Anyway, the restriction is only recognition? If that's so, is pretty much as free for them as whatever license (MIT, right?) mesa uses.

Though... i have never heard of any AMD chip used with android... is there any ? Or maybe it was not used because of this openmax support missing and AMD kinda fill the gap ?Test signature
