I got a feedback from Intel about the video acceleration issue.

Quote:

Thank you for contacting Intel(R) Technical Support.

Regarding your inquiry, be aware that each OEM is responsible for obtaining the appropriate license from the MPEG Licensing Authority in order to ship the codecs on their Mobile Internet Devices powered by Intel(R)Centrino(R) Atom™ processor technology. Please contact the OEM again and ask them for the specific codec which you want to use.

Without the appropriate codec, video acceleration can be achieved by using media players which are capable of utilizing the hardware acceleration entry point of the Intel graphics driver. As one example, CyberLink* PowerDVD* (build 4.0.100.1190) can provide this support for H.264.

We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Can someone with copy of powerdvd check this claim out?
Meanwhile, I will squeeze the CSR to understand how to get hardware acceleration for Mpeg4, VC1, and WMV9.
