Hi Moonami,

HW accelerated graphics rendering is achieved through the OpenGL ES API, but improving performance of video players depends on whether you are referring to rendering performance, which can be achieved with OpenGL ES, or video decode performance, which as Pete says might be achievable through implementing video decode on top of OpenCL, but is more typically done by using dedicated hardware on the device exposed through something like OpenMAX. VLC almost certainly has this functionality already, and so long as you have the necessary userspace libs for the video decode hardware (talk to your SoC vendor) then it should "just work".

Hth,

Chris
