What about VDPAU? Do you plan to add VDPAU support to bumblebeed? If yes, i'll be happy. :)

[ArchangeGabriel]

Not for now, but we're still looking at it. I'm closing this issue, I will open a proper one later.

[lognur]

Why not now?

[ArchangeGabriel]

Sorry, I mean not in 3.0.

[lognur]

But i mean 3.1 :)

[ArchangeGabriel]

For such features, we can't know when it would be ready. So, instead of staging it to 3.1, we're putting it in Milestone x, and we would move it when we will know that it would be ready for the next release.

Currently, there are too much issues for using VDPAU in bumblebee.

Re-opening, frogot that for year(s)...

Again, how would it be useful given the existence of VA-API and decent support in Intel chips that came in Optimus configs?

[ArchangeGabriel]

Hum right, that's what we said earlier, and that's what I thought ... until I tried to play some HD videos on my laptop. Arrandale chips aren't very good for that. But I agree that newer generations are sufficient for playing anything currently existing.

If I'm the sole concerned person, then I will just wait until I get a new computer.

[amonakov]

Are you sure you were using VA-API? According to Intel, up to 40Mbps bitrate is handled, which is plenty.

[ArchangeGabriel]

Hum, after some researches on the web, it appears not be installed/used by default. So the answer is not, and now that I've tried it, it runs very fine, except for one video that is a little over 40Mbps indeed (45).

So thank you for figuring this out. Closing.

the quality in VAAPI is still poor, any updates?
