    Phoronix: NVIDIA VP3/VP4 Engines Exposed On Nouveau For MPEG-2/VC-1

    The open-source and reverse-engineered Nouveau driver is now able to tap the more recent "VP3" and "VP4" video encode/decode engines on recent NVIDIA GPUs that make up NVIDIA's PureVideo HD technology. With utilizing these VP3/VP4 engines, there can be MPEG-2 and VC-1 acceleration using this hardware...

          Why doesn't freedesktop.org not use proper code reviewing tools like ReviewBoard, Gerrit or whatever? Instead patches rot on mailing lists and quickly get forgotten…

            encoding support?

            The article speaks about encoding/decoding.
