One thing I haven't had time to check is whether XvMC can be useful for H.264 and VC-1 if only the MC portion of the API were used (ie not IDCT, where the MPEG-2 coefficients definitely won't work). My guess is that XvMC in its current form simply won't fit with the newer video formats, so there's a strong argument for implementing a Gallium3D backend directly in the existing decoder stacks.
