Abstract
A method, graphics system API and digital video system that provide more efficient processor usage and easier application programming. Register data for the hardware can be generated and written to the hardware control registers, recorded as a command list and recalled as a command list. Use of the command lists prevents repetitive calculation of register data and, hence, reduces processor usage and makes application programming easier.
