Developments in x264 (?)

Hi,

This is my first post (although I've been following the forum for nearly a year). Thanks for all your great contributions.

I found this link (japanese translation) which seems to be addressing Cell (PPU/SPU) and x264. It might be useful (I do not knowi if it was already known, sorry of this is the case).

FYI spu-medialib has started more serious work towards h264 decoding on spu's.

Hey Unsolo, long time. How're things going with spu-medialib now? Last I heard you were still working on a generic job framework for the SPUs. How far into h264 are you? IIRC there was some IBM student Cell competition and some Japanese Graduate Students accelerated bits of x264 (might be what the article linked above is - I haven't checked it yet) but I dunno if any of that will be of help to an actual decoder.
