X-Video Motion Compensation (XvMC), is an extension of the X video extension for the X Window System. The XvMC API allows video programs to offload portions of the video decoding process to the GPU video-hardware. In theory this process should also reduce bus bandwidth requirements. Currently, the supported portions to be offloaded by XvMC onto the GPU are motion compensation and inverse discrete cosine transform for MPEG-2 video. XvMC also supports offloading decoding of mo comp, iDCT, and VLD for not only MPEG-2 but also MPEG-4 ASP and MPEG-4 AVC video on VIA Unichrome hardware. Popular software applications known to take advantage of XvMC include MPlayer, MythTV, and xine.

  • X-Video Motion Compensation (XvMC), is an extension of the X video extension for the X Window System. The XvMC API allows video programs to offload portions of the video decoding process to the GPU video-hardware. In theory this process should also reduce bus bandwidth requirements. Currently, the supported portions to be offloaded by XvMC onto the GPU are motion compensation and inverse discrete cosine transform for MPEG-2 video. XvMC also supports offloading decoding of mo comp, iDCT, and VLD for not only MPEG-2 but also MPEG-4 ASP and MPEG-4 AVC video on VIA Unichrome hardware. Popular software applications known to take advantage of XvMC include MPlayer, MythTV, and xine. XvMC is the UNIX equivalent of the Microsoft Windows DirectX Video Acceleration (DxVA) API. Mac OS X also includes MPEG-2 acceleration capabilities, but Apple has chosen not to expose that API for use outside their own DVD-Video player application. Motion compensation is an algorithmic technique employed in the encoding of video data, for example in the generation of MPEG-2 files. (en)
