Guys, sorry to disappoint, but this is neither new nor ready. What is released is the kernel + userspace for video decoding (VDPAU IIRC).
Most of the work is left to be done. This work is reverse engineering most video-decoding microcodes and then re-implement that. FYI, this is like re-implementing ffmpeg (not everything, but a lot of it) in asm. The amount of code to be written is tremendous, several orders of magnitude bigger than what is needed to get 3D hw acceleration. Until then, you'll have to extract your video decoding firmwares yourself.

C'mon AMD! This is not funny anymore! Hire someone publicly unknown developer, give him the UVD specs, and claim he has reverse engineered it.

Does it work with Adobe Flash Player?
Does YouTube, PornHub, Redtube, beeg, xhamster work?
