[LINUX] Enable XvMC for FFmpeg in XBMC's DVDPlayer?

Yep, they could do it, but why bother? Nobody has any HD video encoded in mpeg-2 and even the old 733Mhz pentium-3 xbox1 CPU could handle SD MPEG-2 just fine.

Actually a lot of DVB and ATSC 720p/1080i HDTV digital-TV broadcast around the world is still MPEG-2 (wrapped in MPEG-TS)

My cable still comes out firewire as MPEG2 transport streams, 528x480i, 1280x720p, 1920x1080i. ATSC HD streams come in MPEG2. I'd say there is still a lot of native content still HD in MPEG2, but I'd agree an insignificant number of people have any transcoded HD into MPEG2.

I can't imagine that the Intel integrated graphics are that great at XvMC though. We used to have Intel EXTREME test machines back at the game studio I worked with and I'd rather have a 4 year old midrange graphics card than a brand new Intel. I'd love to see some numbers.

OK point taken, but isn't MPEG-2 really easy to decode? I mean the old xbox1 CPU could handle lower-bitrate 720p video in divx, and divx is mpeg-4.

All of us who use the HDHomeRun to watch ATSC Over The Air broadcasts would love to be able to see the HD stations on our xboxes.

Support for XvMC on Xbox would help.

Edit: This appears to be an ignorant post on my part Sorry. I didn't realize that XvMC was a Linux-only API.
