[MAC]question about VDADecoder(hardware acceleration)? - xbmcxg - 2011-01-28
hi,
I use XBMC 10.0 on Macbook Pro 6,2 with GT330M graphic card. I play wmv format of 720p and 1080p movies in XBMC. When playing movies, i open and close "allow hardware acceleration(VDADecoder)" and find there is no much differetn about CPU usage, so i guess i don't open VDADecoder rightly.
Can someone give some guide or webpage to describe how to use hardware function on Mac?
Does the VDADecoder support all pixel format decoding such as 640*384 or other not 720p and 1080p?
Thank you.
