Accurate. There has been work done which allows you to spit raw YUV data to the card's framebuffer which can drastically reduce the CPU load, but yes, anything other than MPEG2 will have to be decoded on the host CPU.Although the load on the CPU has been greatly reduced. At least for me anyway :)
I wouldn't say "large load". It's the same as my nvidia FX 5200 when it's not doing opengl. It's basically a lot faster than my nvidia for mpeg2, a lot slower for opengl,
and just about the same for everything else. -- Jesse Guardiani Programmer/Sys Admin [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ ivtv-devel mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-devel
