The initial determination is a query of the hardware for the requested video stream and surface formats. There are cases where the video hardware supports some formats but not the entire set. For example, most of the new Quadro FX cards support MPEG-1/2 and H.264, but not WMV-3 and VC-1.
There are query functions of the capabilities of the each of the surface types, video mixer, and decoder. >> >> Are there any plans for integrating this with any actual applications, >> or with gstreamer or other desktop video apps? NVIDIA already provides patches to the ffmpeg library and the mplayer application to enable VDPAU.
