Don't get too excited about the TrueColor OSD, though. What comes with VDR is only the basic OSD platform that allows plugins to use full screen 32 bit ARGB color, with alpha blendable pixmaps and such.
Do you have any numbers on OSD speed for, lets say, some prototype output device you may have at hand?
An old-style 720x576x8 display has just 400k size, HD RGB32 however has 6Mb. This could limit display update speed notably for animations or video overlays using OSD. Would be nice to know how much is possible.
With things like VDPAU, I would imagine some very cool things are possible and considering how many people are using VDPAU with VDR now, hopefully we'll get a good pool of skinners coming up with some great options to choose from.
