The PS3 has one already built in, like the PSP but obviously with better resolution support. ;) So I don't know if we need to get a codec for it. I also don't know if the PS3 is using the Cell for this codec (which it could, as that's what the 4Gb/s Cell-to-GDDR3 pipeline should be useful for) or whether the RSX actually takes care of it, as it seems to have video decoding right there on the chip.
Eventually we'll probably get people who do their own Cell implementation of H.264 I guess, though it won't be easy (not just because of Cell). |

according to my info you just have access to the frame buffer from within linux... so the builtin h.264 decoder is most likely of no use for us if we talk homebrew software :-(

This is speculation. A lot of signs point to at least some form of hardware OpenGL (using E17 kinda implies this, plus some things TerraSoft have said).
Also ps3linux seems to cover the net-yaroze and ps2linux bases (for home-dev stuff), so that kinda implies some form of hardware acceleration too.
This is, of course, still speculation. Until Sony or TerraSoft say either way (or somebody gets their hands on it) we won't know for sure. |

Man, that band really sucks... ;) </off-topic>
E17? I can't think of any E words that are 17 letters, at least not relating to hypervisors. Care to elaborate? |

Gosh! I remember some guys trying that out about 10 years ago!
Does it need OpenGL nowadays? When I first saw it, I was impressed by all the alpha blended transparency niceness as it was something Windows couldn't do (and I think MacOS had rounded corners on windows, but not proper transparency), but it certainly didn't do anything that would need OpenGL. |
