How to get access to video acceleration card - no DirectX

Hi All,
 I need to know how can I get access to a video accelerator card without
using Direct X. I am using the Hollywood X MPEG video decoder card (it is
not compatible with DirectX) and I need to implement this acceleration with
this hardward from my Delphi program (video player)
Where can I find documentation about this issue?

Any help will be appreciatted.
Thanks in advance.

Does it have an OpenGL driver? OpenGL automatically uses hw accel if it is
available for the settings you choose.

The best source would be the manufacture of this hardware
Try to call them and ask if they do have any API libraries or
any samples on how to use it. even if this api is in C you
have more changes for some one here help you to convert
them in to pascal than to find any one that has worked with
the specific card.
