****ing. Ace.
All hail the wizard.

oh and i love bits like these

Based on previous discussions and my experience with the code involved, this is not likely to happen until we rewrite the 2D GUI for FSO.

and then i fix it in A DAY

It's just like on-the-fly cloaking and techroom materialization, "not in the near future", remember?
You're awesome like that, Valathil.

He's like Santa, but shinier. 

So this fix uses the current video code but does colorspace conversion in hardware rather than software?

[mjn.mixael]

So. Smooth.

Very nice work. Minor nitpick, see screenshot.

Exactly

This doesn't seem as efficient as using the fixed-function video decode hardware you see in GPUs, but managing 720p with existing code (dodging license restrictions and library hell) is extremely neat.

[The E]

Well, if you can find us the APIs to do that, we'd be happy to. However, given that this thing offloads a significant part of the processing load involved in displaying theora videos onto the gpu (the YUV to RGB conversion is done in a shader), we are already using GPU horsepower.

Working great cross platform, OS X with Nvidia card. Thanks Valathil.

Hail again to Valhathil

i dont think there are hardware decoders for ogg in gpu's only h.246 and mpeg2 cause they are the most used commercial codecs. and besides direct gpu hardware decode theres still the possibility of ogg releasing a multithreaded decoder library in the future which would work nicely on multicore systems

[CaptJosh]

Call me nuts, but if this doesn't break anything, this should be put in the upcoming 3.6.14 release, assuming testing can be done. Especially with things like the super high res redone FSPort upgrade cutscenes already being out there.

I think that this thread deserves a new title, such as "480p in 2012?  'Surely not' my ASS!" 

Edit:
Sweet!

Ah. I hadn't thought of that. -_- Welp, shaders it is. As long as nobody wants to play 720p video while flying around in-game (which I'll admit as unlikely, but with mod creators you never know) this is awesome.

[Valathil]

Ok this is commited to trunk. Lets hope the people at the top merge this to the next RC so we can have this in .14

[Davros]

I think a better solution would be, when your about to play an ingame video the game pings a central server, then Goober and Dekker turn up at your house and act out the cutscene

Yes, that would be awesome. But I wonder how they are going to act out a supernova (and juggernaughts).

Well they'll need a couple volunteers, of course...
