Hello. This patch provides basic support for video on the Sony PS3 Linux framebuffer. Scaling, format-conversion, and drawing is done from the SPEs, so there is little performance impact to PPE applications. This is by no means production quality code, but it is a very good start and a good example of how to use the PS3's hardware capabilities to accelerate video playback on the box. The driver has been verified to work with ffplay, mplayer and xine. This piece of software has been developed at the IBM R&D Lab in Boeblingen, Germany and is now returned to the community. Enjoy !

<P>
This library is designed to make it easy to write games that run on many
different platforms using the various native high-performance media interfaces,
(for video, audio, etc) and presenting a single source-code level API to
your application.  This is a fairly low level API, but using this, completely
portable applications can be written with a great deal of flexibility.
