That doesn't make sense, the chip just decodes video, it isn't a GPU.
So you still have to transfer the resulting frame to the GPU. Besides
xvideo doesn't do
any decoding so you gain nothing by letting a chip does colorspace
conversation and scaling when you can do the same on the GPU using
xvideo.
