Video overlay - essential for fast video playback

@ Piru

I respect your work on MOS;however, I'll side with Hans and Karlos's opinions on modern video driver issues.

And by that comment you show your complete ignorance of the matters at hand. I hope it's that, since the alternative is even worse.

ah please:roflmao:why because you think it's 'essential' and other highly skilled developers think it's 'obsolete'

Overlay is obsolete.
Textured video is a much better way of doing the same thing at the same speed.
RadeonHD cards had moved away from supporting true overlay, using textured video instead.

And just in case I also get accused of fanboyism, here's a forum entry by AMD saying exactly that:

don't bother posting real facts here Ian as Piru & friends only want data they can manipulate to serve their agenda. Sad part is he has the audacity to think people are daft enough not to realize:whack:

Incidentally, I do find it strange that the people making the most noise about this aren't generally Sam users.

cough cough, strange indeed as the same people show up on every OS4.x related thread as well.  Must be a strange fascination with new hardware or perhaps they are true AmigaOS4.x fans:razz:
