[vlc] Re: Via EPIA with Via C3 processor

[Y. Dessertenne]

Thank for your answer,

btw, is it possible to develop a module for Win32 or Linux in order to support hardware acceleration ?
Is vlc designed for such add-on module ?

Regards,

Yannick

  Vlc does not take advantage of mpeg acelleration hardware. It only uses the
  cpu (with mmx/3dnow etc when available) and the video overlay features of
  the graphics board (which pretty much suck on the epia iirc). The conclution
  is that DVD quality MPEG2 is too heavy for vlc on most EPIA boards, possibly
  with the exception of the fastest versions (900+ mhz)
