MPEG2 confusion:
So, what's the deal? Can this thing MPEG2 hardware decode or not?
- The Wiki claims that MPEG2 is not decoded in hardware: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Ama...own_issues
- This page suggests it's unknown (has a "?" for MPEG2 hardware decdoding): http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=And...e_chipsets
- When I turn libstagefright on, it says it's using the "stf-mpeg2" decoder, I see about 30% of two CPUs being used (about the same as H.264 playback with stf-h264)
- When I turn on software decoding only, I see about 70% of all 4 CPUs being used with (I think) the "ff-mpeg2" decoder being used.
So, what's the deal? Can this thing MPEG2 hardware decode or not?
