[Linux]How to verify hardware Acceleration on Linux?

Try it in XBMC with a regular x264 stream in an MKV container. Xvid acceleration should work on a GTX 560, but xvid sucks. Not a good test case.

Good one your test case worked, its doing hardware acceleration for .mkv, mp4 and mpeg files but not .avi files. And unfortunately I have all movies in .avi format.

Except in XBMC (that bug is still not fixed) so we disabled vdpau in case of xvid.

If I understand you correctly You mean to say as if now hardware acceleration wont work for .avi files in XBMC?

So, problem solved Smile. Or at least identified. VDPAU has always worked, just not for xvid.

Yeah! thanks mate at least we found the problem. Smile

bobo1on1, This issue with xvid is affecting all platforms for XBMC (Linux, Windows, MAC)? Can you please share the BUG report so we can follow it up?
