Yep. Offloading the work to the hardware may get around that. IANAL though. But not having a software fallback for patent reasons isn't very nice. Especially on the decoding end. Encoding without hardware support probably isn't very useful anyway. cheers, Gerd _______________________________________________ Spice-devel mailing list Spice-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel
