[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] Support for XvMC VLD on S3 Unichrome

[Timothy Lee]

Dear all,

This patch was originally from Ivor Hewitt, and adds XvMC VLD support to 
MPlayer.  This significantly speeds up the playback of MPEG-2 video on 
S3 Unichrome.  On a 1GHz VIA C3, the CPU load drops from 85% to 15% 
during playback.

Since the majority of the patch was written by Ivor, I've sent it to him 
for review in July, but have not received any feedback since then.

The only change that have been added is the ability to disable VLD 
acceleration during run-time if not supported by the display driver.  
I've tested a patched MPlayer against Intel, NVidia and Unichrome 
display drivers, and had consistently achieved the highest level of XvMC 
acceleration.

I've been posting updates of this patch to the Unichrome mailing list 
during last 5 months, and their subscribers had not encountered any 
problem with their patched MPlayers.

It would be great to get XvMC VLD support on the trunk.   Looking 
forward to your comments!

Regards,
Timothy Lee
