Hi,

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,

What about hardware acceleration with the actual codec (mjpeg) or vp8 or
vp9 codec?
Unfortunately, from what I have seen until now cpu is overloaded without
a dedicated video codec hardware acceleration, which renders spice
client performances very poor even if on medium/high range thin client
and unusable with a low end ones.
Thanks for any reply.
