@Larz: I'm afraid Hardware Acceleration will not work for your GPU, the GeForce3 series is too old! Firefox does not at the moment use the cairo-gl backend.

I've tried fullscreen video hardware acceleration for the video below in FX3.7alpha4 but the result made me very sad. When unscaling, the video hog whole cpu but keep steady fps, then zooming to fullscreen the video behave like slideshow.

But, i could played this video only hogging half of cpu and keeping steady fps in mplayer using directx(overlay) or opengl rendering mode.

Do FX 3.7a4 use new cairo-gl backend?

OpenGL?
I thought the idea was to take a Direct2D / DirectDraw approach?

I've tried the latest hourly, and upon going full screen I get these two messages in the Error Console.

One thing I noticed, is that while it's using 100% CPU, it's smooth *until* the video controls show up, once they're being rendered it starts stuttering.

I saw that the patch just landed on the trunk, so as soon as there's an hourly with it available I'll see what it outputs.

This is slightly off topic for this post, but Microsoft has put up an interesting comparison of browsers against IE9's hardware acceleration:

It would be interesting to see a comparison against Firefox's forthcoming Direct2D support, even bearing in mind that a debug build of Firefox wouldn't necessarily deliver the full performance of a release build.

@Alex: As soon as https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=557896 lands, we should be better able to help you! This will be soon.
