Last I had looked at VDPAU it only did simple scaling. I see there are now these modes: VDP_VIDEO_MIXER_FEATURE_HIGH_QUALITY_SCALING_L0 through VDP_VIDEO_MIXER_FEATURE_HIGH_QUALITY_SCALING_L9 Would you know what they are? I'm wondering if the default (L0) is bicubic interpolation or Lanczos resampling. Either are adequate, IMHO. Looking at the info however it appears that this (L1 and above) is only supported on a handful of cards, like GT220. >> Of course CUDA is not available under solaris.

Are you saying that the CUDA SDK will be available for Solaris? Great news if it is! I could definitely use it. Thanks, Francois
