Just to give you another datapoint, I have a via m10k (1 ghz cpu), and i am able to do software playback, but i use the unichrome driver and send it out the onboard video card. I am not using the cle266 to do hardware decoding, so it's all software decoding.
Seems to work fine. I haven't tried using the new XV stuff with ivtv yet, but i don't recall my cpu going very high using the onboard. Perhaps you could try that and see if it is fast enough for you.. at least then you'd know if your cpu could handle it -tmk --- Ian Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 10/7/05, John Harvey > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > I have just submitted a patch for the YUV > playback code which > > significantly reduces the cpu used during playback > using the Xv code. > > > > Wow!
