- waddlesplash 10y agoActually, Haiku doesn't have any hardware video decoding. It's all software.
- sdegutis 10y agoThat sounds miles slower.
- zamalek 10y agoYou're missing the point entirely, it could be done in hardware (I'm sure they would be happy with a PR) - but Haiku can do stuff in software that other OSes simply can't; media is just one of the better demos. It follows very strongly from the BeOS demos from the mid 90s[1]. [1]: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BsVydyC8ZGQ https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BsVydyC8ZGQ
- dzamo_norton 10y agoTo me this sounds unlikely. The CPU will spend all its time in codec library code here so how much of a role will the OS get to play? More likely the difference is coming from some departure from fairness in how the software codec was compiled
- voidz 10y agoMost of us get your point, I'm sure. :-) Some people just go against everything in their comments.
