Hi,
Well I finally got around to upgrading to F17 and was surprised that the Catalyst drivers 12.6 appear to work. So I was wondering about actually making use of some of their features. XvBA which is ATI's equivalent of NVidia's VDPAU appears to have been around in some form for more than 3 years. From what I can tell the only implementation of it is as a back-end to VA API by a company called Splitted Desktop Systems who've made a number of video back-ends.
They have released xvba-video (http://www.splitted-desktop.com/static/libva/).
There is a patched version of mplayer that uses it and VLC appears to already use it (http://wiki.videolan.org/VLC_VAAPI).
I was wondering if there were likely to be any Fedora adoption of these?
