Re: Broadcom CrystalHD

That is great news.  But I don't think most of us will be able to take advantage just yet.  We'll need to get a new video card (mini PCI-e) and do a lot of surgery, but the benefits are immense. http://www.mydellmini.com/forum/dell-mini-9-guides/21066-broadcom-crystal-hd-70012-dell-mini-9-a.html Or order a new netbook that comes with it.  http://en.community.dell.com/dell-blogs/Direct2Dell/b/direct2dell/archive/2010/02/25/the-mini-10-in-hd-now-available-with-broadcom_2700_s-crystal-hd-accelerator.aspx But it means that netbooks, tablets, and home theater PCs could have the hardware.  And I like that the ffmpeg, etc libraries are already including software support for it.  There is so much potential here, let's see what happens in a few more months. http://www.anandtech.com/show/2898 I hope they aren't teasing about video acceleration for Flash on linux.  That's huge.On Sun, Jan 2, 2011 at 8:05 AM, Gábor Molnár <gabor.molnar@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Hi!Mplayer and FFMpeg can finally use the Broadcom CrystalHD decoder chip to accelerate video playback!

Re: Broadcom CrystalHD

I didnt know that only minority of the Dell Mini 10 family has this chip :(Mine has got one built in, so i'm lucky.2011/1/2 Benjamin F. Klahn KSC <bfklahn@xxxxxxxxx> That article is interesting, it's about 7 months old now so I'd hope support for the chip is there in 10.10. Where would one go to buy one of these?
