Is IDCT really the same as XvMC? I thought IDCT (inverse discrete cosine 
transform) was part of the calculations in the MPEG2 decompression 
algorithm (and JPEG as well). XvMC is "motion compensation" which I 
thought had to do with deinterlacing.

What is really the relationship between them?

Thanks,
