AMD's UVD2-based XvBA Finally Does Something On Linux

to get really high bitrate videos you need a bluray drive - there you have got an average of about 30 mbps with 48 mbps peak with mostly vc1 and some h264 l4.1. maybe some really old ones with mpeg2 too, but did not get those yet.

Really? Because I can tell you as a matter of fact even including bumpgate effected cards the ATI's have a higher failure rate then the Nvidia cards. For every Nvidia card that was replaced ATI cards were replaced 10 x more. These include the 7500, 2600HD, X1900, X850, 9000 Pro.

Source of your lie ?

Lol, dude I worked at apple for 5 years so Apple Engineering.

One such example Apple Internal KBase 305637.

I'm sure if you did some googling you can find what the resolution says.

As a side note, an ATI card was also responsible for killing a dog. Long story short, Apple sent out a replacement ATI card, the courier rang the bell, nobody was home, so he left it in the dog pen (at the owners request). Dog ate the packaging and card and choked on it.

I do not like to install patched ffmpeg globally and it does not seem to contain a script that fetches the needed parts from svn. Maybe next week with a test hd.

You simply need original libswscale and libavutil for the VAAPI demos.

in fakt Dirac is stronger/better than H264 less datarate in the same quality or better quality in the same datarate.

I don't think any sane person can agree on this one...

first Dirac acceleration on opensource side will doom the UVD out..

There is already Dirac acceleration but this codec is way inferior to H.264.

Exactly, I don't think there has ever been one comparison that has shown dirac to be superior to H.264 in any way shape or form.

Gosh the fanboys from both nvidia & ati are jumping up and down here. Get over it people. Or at least back up claims with proper data.

Ironic on: 'O yes and i'm the King of china' ironic off

software Engineering is not the same as electronic overheating chip thats destroy customers notebook.

your part is software nvidia fail part is elecronic you are not well knows in that one.

in software you fail to: Apple sould kick you for the macos 10.6 openGL fullscreen BUG.
