[xine-devel] XvMC - does it worth?

[Miguel F. <mi...@ce...>]

hi,

last week i got a new video card at the university (geforce4 mx) and i
tried compiling the xvmc patch to xine-lib. i would expect it to offload
a lot processing of the cpu, but on a _very_ quick observation it seemed
to be only about 20% faster. i mean, playing a mpeg with xvmc used about
20% less cpu than full software decoding.

does anybody else did any experiments with XvMC so far?
XvMC looks like a cool feature, but do you think it worth adding support
to xine?

regards,

Miguel
