Great that this is finally released as well as the whole enhancer update.
Thanks for all the hard work!

Do we need an updated version of DVPlayer in order to take advantage of this new video library?

I have an X1000 with a Radeon HD 7550 and it appears that graphics card hardware is not being used. I'm running DVPlayer version 54.9.

@ktadd

RadeonHD v3 doesnt support Video Acceleration.

Originally, we had an internal version of RadeonHD v4 which worked with the VA Lib.

A lot more development was done then adding GART and many other fixes and the result is the RadeonHD V5 driver. This is on sale now as a retail box item and a digital download in the coming week:

Note that RadeonHD V5 driver is now machine specific. It does not support soft resets on the majority of RadeonHD graphics cards.

@amigakit

What are the benefits of this v5 for x1000 users?
As far as I know the x1000 firmware still can't handle the new x radeons, so no "power" settings either.

Could you elaborate on that a bit, please?

There is no SAM440 on the list. Does it mean my SAM440&HD7750 has no chance to get UVD support? What about V4, any chance to test on my HW or do anything to get UVD?

@mr2

No Beta Testers with Sam440ep /Radeon HD configuration.

The Sam460ex driver might work on the Sam440ep but no guarantees.

@Spectre660

Thanks, I know there are no betatesters with such crippled hw

Now, I need some help from Amigakit to test...

@amigakit
That's great that you will release the new Radeon HD v5. It is a great step forward for the RadeonHD users out there. A have a few questions if you do not mind.

Is there going to :
1. be a discount for those who bought the previous Radeon drivers or Enhancer 2?

2. be a discount for those who bought DVPlayer or will it cost them more than 80 euros for having video accelerated playback with a video player (RadeonHD v5 + DVPlayer = 85 euros)?

3. be a lower price for the download version?

4. be a discount on V54 for those who will buy this RadeonHD v5, when v54 will be available?

Thank you in advance for your reply.

@walkero

No discounts are possible, sorry - the reality of having a very small user base.

The costs of development have far exceeded the return from sales. That is with many of us working for free for literally thousands of man hours in the last year.

Enhancer Software 2.2 was a substantial development cost and that was given as a free upgrade to existing V2 users.

@amigakit
Thank you for the answer. Keep up the good work guys, bringing us crucial and valuable software.

@amigakit
One more question if you don't mind. What do you plan to include in RadeonHD v5 package? Will it have RadeonHD_drv_video Library and VA Library?

My question is, if someone never bought the Enhancer package before, but wants to buy DVPlayer with RadeonHD v5, will he be able to play videos at full speed? Or will he need to buy Enhancer as well?

Thank you again for your answers.

VA Library (Video Acceleration) is built on top of Warp3D Nova so will not work without Nova being installed

So the Enhancer Software V2 is a prerequisite

Understood. Thank you so much for the clarification.

@amigakit

How can I check if RadeonHD V5 works on my SAM440? ES2.2 is installed.
