I'm trying to understand if Intel XvMC can be used with h264 material.
If not, is there any way to use Intel hardware acceleration with h264

VA-API does h264 bitstream decoding on the GPU, not XvMC. XvMC is only
for motion compensation (which is what "MC" stands for.)
There are extensions to XvMC however, for Via and other chipsets that
allow at least MPEG2 streams to be sent to the GPU for higher level
hardware decode. XvMC isn't really suited to this though, hence the
newer schemes.
Actually Intel developers, is there any news of providing hardware
H264/MPEG2
decoding via an API for Linux on the G45 graphics chipset ?
I've heard unsubstantiated rumours of possible VDPAU support.. That
would be sweet! It would make intel chipsets competitive with nvidia
ion for video playback.
Any truth to those rumours?
