This lets you watch Netflix in buttery smooth 1080p without hogging your CPU or draining your battery. In fact, this allows you to get up to 2 hours longer battery life on a MacBook Air streaming Netflix in 1080p - that’s enough time for one more movie!

yes. although I wish it was a full .net runtime instead of a subset cause it would be nice to have a real language on osx.

p sure I could get hw accelerator cards for various codecs that were supported by QuickTime starting in the early 1990, around when QuickTime was first created

os x has supported h.264 hw acceleration since 10.6 https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/technotes/tn2267/_index.html

not to defend shaggar here but that blog post seems to be talking about hardware accelerated graphics, not video decoding

osx definitely has the latter though, it seems that ms was just too lazy to add the appropriate calls (which literally exist) to the silverlight runtime

Shaggar
Apr 26, 2006
its probably not even doing hardware decoding in fullscreen. the mac is just tricking you and doing it in software but you cant tell because you cant access any other apps. that's why fullscreen has always been so hosed up in mac osx.

what do you want to bet silverlight doesn't just dump output to quicktime but instead does all of its own rendering down to the pixel level and as such can't use video acceleration
