Yeah same here. Worked for months to get video acceleration working on
an nvidia card, then decided to switch to AMD, and now this. I get
there's other codecs, but for the user who's been expressly needing
those now-removed codecs finding out things no longer work is very annoying.
Really reminds me of the whole Linux on PS3 debacle, when Sony removed
the feature after release.

achieve a proper video acceleration. And now I hear about this. Truly disappointing and
saddening. Reminds me of a possible youtube comment:
