Ivor Hewitt worked on the MPEG-2 decoding part of those VIA chips. The
problem is that IFAIK, the way it's done doesn't suit the people in
charge of that part of MPlayer (as a better solution, yet to be
developed, would be to add a generic support of hardware acceleration so
that each new support is simpler and smaller).
