--- Comment #6 from Roderick Colenbrander thunderbird2k@gmx.net 2008-04-04 02:50:25 --- To give an idea all multimedia players use overlays when available it results in better performance as an overlay engine of the gpu (or a shader engine) can do the scaling and yuv conversion. I wouldn't be surprised if plugins like flash wouldn't use it either.
I think the code from the picasa branch can for a large part be reused. The main thing that is wrong with it is that it uses ExtEscape to access winex11.drv. I think it would be fine by AJ if we routed it in a similar way as opengl32 through gdi32.dll.
