We currently have support running in house, and have demonstrated it
at a conference (QNX 95) a couple months ago, for the Matrox
Marvel II with mpeg hardware decompression. We also have support for
the Matrox XPress JPEG hardware codec board. It should be released
shortly.
Not to mention we've had Xv support in our product for several years
(since '91.)
Sorry for the "commercial." Hmm, to try and make up for it, we're
planning a very interesting MBONE schedule for SIGGRAPH 95. Please
contact me if you are planning on attending SIGGRAPH and would be
interested in helping with the Web and/or MBONE activities.
Take care,
Pax.
