Thanks for the explanations. I don’t want to add more codecs just for sake of adding. I will check if DXVA2/D3D11VA implementation has shortcomings and propose additions only if it is really needed. The same on Linux: we will see what driver team will provide on Linux and if AMF-based codec are needed to be integrated. I will concentrate more on GPU color converter filter: with it user should be able to create fully accelerated pipeline. > > - Hendrik > _______________________________________________ > ffmpeg-devel mailing list > ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org > http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel Thanks, Mikhail _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
