libcrystalhd - Broadcom Crystal HD device interface library
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=553717
I just got the driver for these cards merged into the linux kernel
staging tree a few days ago. Now we need the device interface library to
talk to the thing and add support to apps to use it. This is a hardware
h.264, mpeg2 and vc1 decoder board. That's right. 100% free and
open-source drivers and libs from Broadcom, and they give us a way to
decode digital video on Fedora w/o violating any codec patents, since
the decoding is done entirely in hardware (this is pretty similar to the
mpeg2 decoder on the Hauppauge WinTV PVR-350 in that respect).
I'll grab this one because I started looking at packaging it up the
other day, so if someone else has done the work I was going to do the
least I can do it review it :-)
Cheers,
Peter
