- dividuum 2y agoThe software decoder is fast enough: See https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?p=2145762#p2145762 https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?p=2145762#p2145...
- palata 2y agoOr they did not want to pay for the license, or for the component. The software decoder is not fast enough if you need to use the CPUs in parallel. So removing the hardware acceleration is a net loss of compute power.
