+HUD OSD
+
+ HUD OSD implements high-quality OSD using modern graphics hardware.
+ OSD is scaled and blended using hardware, so it adds no extra CPU
+ overhead. OSD is always blended to output (display) resolution,
+ so it remains sharp and detailed even with low-resolution video.
+
+ HUD OSD must be enabled with command-line option (--hud). Scaling
+ options can be configured in xineliboutput plugin setup menu,
+ OSD settings page.
+
+ Requirements:
+ - X server with Composite and Xrender extensions.
+ Composite extension must be enabled in Xorg config.
+ - Composite window manager (compiz, beryl, or properly configured xfce4, metacity, ...)
+ or separate composite manager (xcompmgr).
+ - Compatible graphics hardware and drivers.
+ HUD OSD has been tested with:
+ nVidia GF FX5700LE (driver version 169.09)
+ Intel G965 (GMA-X3000) (driver version 2.2.1, textured XVideo)
+
+ metacity 2.23.2
+ xcompmgr 1.1.3
+
+ NOTE:
+ - Drawing video (even without OSD) may be slower when composite
+ extension is enabled.
+
+ - For true HD-resolution OSD VDR needs to be patched.
+
+ HUD OSD was contributed by Antti Seppälä and Rolf Ahrenberg.
