It's my understanding that vdpau still can't be beat.  My poor little atom
has been happily handling HD h.264 for years without breaking a sweat.  And
that's because the gpu is doing the heavy lifting.

Based on other threads,  alternatives like Intel graphics can be coerced.
into working,  but you still may end up with artifacts like tearing or
dropped frames that are most noticeable in scenes with horizontal panning.
Which is unacceptable for me.  Working with video over the years has tuned
my vision to be very aware of these things.  :-/

Is this still the case,  or have other technologies caught up with vdpau?
