The question is: Which of them will offer decent open source drivers for HD decoding, and when?
I wonder if every vendor pushes his own API for using these decoding accelerators? Or is there some "standard" (It's surely beyond XvMC)?
there's VAAPI - Video Decode Acceleration API Specification http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/vaapi
but seems it hasn't finished yet :(
And then there's some "XvMC for H.264/AVC" work/patches:
