YV12 -> YUY2

not sure if this can help out any developers (other than butcher) but i gathered info before: http://sourceforge.net/tracker....=817681
...as i under it the gpu could also be used for 'post processing', video/picture/gui enhancements, and maybe even deinterlaceing(?)

i would love to work on that
however my directx knowledge is very basic. dont even wanna compare it with butchers
think i gonna buy myself a good book on directx8 or 9 first

it's directx 8 with some specifc xbox additions and omissions.
if you're after books i can recommend realtime rendering by akenine-moeller & haines. i don't actually have any books specifically on directx, i just use the docs for that.

which one..

this one you can get used for $12 new $49
real-time rendering

this one used $53 new $59
real-time rendering (2nd edition)

in case somebody wonders what we do with the donations
well i just bought real-time rendering (2nd edition) with it;-)

frodo

get the second edition (i have both, the second has a lot of new material).

people interested in directx on the pc should download the dx9 sdk summer update here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloa....lang=en

also note that gpu gems appears to cover v2 pixel shaders which aren't supported on xbox (but are supported on a pc with a dx9 capable card).
