[mythtv-users] AMD hardware accelerated video via opensource driver with VDPAU support?

[Joseph Fry]

You failed to mention that they are using VDPAU!!!!  This is a big win as I
believe it means that no changes to MythTV will be required to support it,
and that support should be on par with NVIDIA, assuming of course that the
AMD drivers are half way decent.
