Also, perhaps I record TV shows from my TV Tuner, again, VDPAU/VA-API support would still be useful.
The fact you are assuming illegal usage of such features is horrible and quite frankly, hogwash.
Your attitudes regarding this whole thing make it seem like nobody on the developer side sees a legal value to it. I guess this really exemplifies the industrial/corporate focus that most Linux development has. I remember a few years ago there was a guy that focused entirely on making patches that made Linux work better on the desktop.
I don't know what happened to those patches today, but I do know that at the time, they were scoffed at because nearly everybody focused entirely on the server platforms. So what if Linux can scale to innumerable CPUs? Linux seems to suck at handling audio right now, and there is horrible OpenGL performance. And that guy doesn't work on the kernel anymore.
We're only now addressing these issues. Developers shooting down the validity of VDPAU/VA-API, you suck right now.
GRRR *growls and grabs hair*
This IS RIDICULOUS...
