vleo's Journal: new H264 codec chip

Couple weeks ago I have found a new very exiting MPEG4 part 10 (H264) chip. It seems to be the actual holy grail Linux Media Labs was looking for a while - full rate D1, full duplex (playback and capture at the same time), bitrate of 1.5 Mbit/sec, proper support for interlaced video signal. We're working now on an agreement with the chip manufacturer that shall allow us to provide the driver for this chip based Linux boards to be released under GNU GPL.
