Re: [Chromium-users] Any utility for sending video through opengl and chromium?

[Morris B. <mo...@av...>]

Hi,

VLC (in version 0.8.2 for windows, at least) has an option for OpenGL 
output under settings/preferences/video/output modules.  I did a quick test 
and it didn't seem to work though, at least not on a win98 machine (yes, 
I'm still using it for some things).  Most likely it's just a problem with 
my machine.

I've been looking into similar things (chromium and dmx) for playback of 
videos during corporate events on very large screens.  In the end, I just 
used a quadro FX card with the power wall settings to get a 1792x598 mpeg 
file to display on a 10x30 foot screen (under winXP, Athlon64 3.2gig, 1 gig 
ram, quadroFX 3000 in primary machine, FX 1100 in backup).  I don't know if 
it can be done with two cards somehow so you can maintain the aspect ratio 
of regular video.  There are controls to allow blending in the card to work 
this way, but actually getting it running could be a job.  It wasn't all 
that easy getting it to work with a simple center blend ...
