The 9400M (the GPU on the ION) should run Freevo 2 well.  Very
theoretically, at least. :)

I'm more concerned about the underpowered processor.

Yeah, kaa.metadata doesn't support m2ts files yet.  It's on my TODO
list.  I own a Hauppauge HDPVR which outputs in ts files, so I miss this
support in kaa.metadata.

I noticed the same thing on my system too.  MPEG2 content doesn't seem
to get offloaded as much.  This probably won't be a problem in practice,
because most HD content is h264, and MPEG2 isn't as cpu hungry anyway.

I'll let Duncan comment about Freevo 1.  Freevo 2 will support vdpau by
turning on a vdpau option, and it will automatically pick the
appropriate video decoder based on the file type.

Cheers,
