how to make use of Mali video acceleration?

Note: This was originally posted on 19th April 2010 at http://forums.arm.com

Hi,

How can I make use of Mali video acceleration (ex.MPEG-4 encoding/decoding)?
without purchasing OpenMAX, I mean using Mali GPU Developer Tools, along with Meego, or Maemo.

    Can any one provide information about developing software for Mali-VE3 or Mali-VE6?
    Khronos OpenMax seems to allow corporate membership only, is there a way for me as an individual to utilize OpenMax? if not,  what could be an alternative API to utilize Mali-VE3 or Mali-VE6?

    I'm researching and developing media applications, currently starting and exploring the ability of porting such applications to mobile,  I found Mali as a wonderful potential. I'm aiming mobiles operating ARM processors, Meego/Maemo OS.

    Hi Tamer,

    Mali GPUs (and tools) are not intended to be used for video codec processing. Mali-VE products are specifically designed to accelerate video processing with the utmost power-efficiency.

    Can you please provide more information on what you want to develop? Is it a codec or use the decoded video stream? Have you got a hold of a Mali-VE powered device?

    Cheers,
