Mplayer, FFmpeg Gain VA-API Support

,----[ Quote ]
| If you happen to have hardware with the Intel Poulsbo and Intel's 
| closed-source driver, patches for adding VA-API support to MPlayer and FFmpeg 
| have just been published. The Ubuntu Mobile team and Intel's Moblin project 
| have been working to add VA-API support within the Helix media player stack, 
| but now it's here for the widely popular MPlayer.

Xine Picks Up Support For NVIDIA's VDPAU

,----[ Quote ]
| It was just a month ago that NVIDIA had introduced the Video Decode and
| Presentation API for Unix that brought PureVideo-like features to Linux and
| as our early benchmarks showed this video API did an effective job at
| offloading video-related tasks to the graphics card that otherwise would be
| handled by the CPU. Last week we then took a $20 processor and $30 graphics
| card and managed to play HD videos on Linux quite well when using VDPAU.
