(In [26098]) Refactor VideoOutputOpenGL to allow efficient subclassing and extend OpenGLVideo to enable direct update of the output video textures via hardware decoders.
This will be used by VAAPI in the short term (if I ever get it working properly) and probably VDPAU and VDA for 0.25. There are other potential issues such as deinterlacing of RGBA frames (generally a bad idea) but I'll deal with those as they arise.

Pushing back completion to 0.25 as there are unresolved issues and hence VDA decoding will need to be flagged as experimental for 0.24.
Current issues are:-
- certain broadcast streams will fail a short period into decoding, usually somewhere between 16 and 30 frames. Possibly reference frame related. Offenders include BBC HD and hdpvr output.
- interlaced detection is not working
- av sync issues on some streams (probably need to get tralph on the case to fix some timestamp ordering)

(In [26593]) Improved av sync with the VDA decoder. We now use the pts exclusively and force AvFormatDecoder to use reordered pts timestamps. Thanks to tralph for the suggestions. Refs #8621

VDA decoding doesn't work with interlaced content. This results in various crashes, hang or kernel panic.
In 2c08a7d1788b4a8183a70c288be0cec46a3f36d0, I disabled VDA playback for interlaced content. While this is obviously a big downside as playing content such as BBC HD will just fail on all but the most powerful macs (mac mini 2010, macbook air 2011, entry-level MBP 2012 13" all fail to play the BBC HD sample when using software decode).
How VDA will behave is dependent on the graphic adapter being used.
Mark Kendall reported that it worked on his mac with a nvidia adapter (I don't know which nvidia that is).
On my iMac with an ATI 6970M, I would only get the top half properly decoded, the bottom half stays green.
On a 2011 macbook air with an intel HD3000, the whole picture decoded is green.
On my mac mini 2010 with a nvidia 320M, it either hangs or cause a kernel panic
While obviously it would be nice to play interlaced content with VDA, if it's to get it to work only occasionally and get corrupted decoding, a crash or worse a kernel panic most of the time: there's no other choice without further investigations.
The following bug report was submitted to Apple:
The VDA framework doesn't state anything in regards to interlaced videos. Experimentations prove that VDA doesn't handle it properly.
However, creating the decoder doesn't fail.
When trying to decode h264 interlaced video, using the VDA framework will result in either a crash, a hang or a kernel panic.
The kernel panic can be consistently reproduced on a mac mini 2010 with a nvidia 320M graphic adapter.
The side-effects will vary depending on which video card you are using. ATI and Intel are more resistant to crashes.
On nvidia, it's where the worst issues can be seen.
Examples of videos causing issues:
http://dvb-antares.com/ftp/HD/BBC_H264_test6.ts
Intel: only get green crap
ATI: top half is good, bottom half is green
nVidia 320M: hang for a while. Leave the machine in unstable state, you can't reboot it, put it to sleep. Hard reset is the only salvation.
Video sample that will cause consistently a kernel panic on nvidia 320M http://samples.ffmpeg.org/V-codecs/h264/tij-h264.avi

(In [25571]) Add support for the VideoDecodeAcceleration framework on OS X.
This enables video acceleration on certain hardware when running OS X 10.6.3 and above (see http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/technotes/tn2010/tn2267.html)
There are 2 outstanding issues:-
Implementation wise, the VDA library is loaded dynamically in order to simplify package management (the framework is only available on newer versions of OS X) and the additional privatedecoder_vda_defs file replicates the required elements of the framework headers as the headers are currently private.
There is a clear performance improvement, though nothing approaching the gains seen with, for example, VDPAU on the same hardware - no doubt due to the additional overhead of transferring the frames back into main memory (and back to GPU memory again).
The interaction with the Quartz video renderer is untested.
