Hi all, I searched the list and couldn't find a definitive answer on what type of processor one could get away with when using XvMC, just that it the requirements were "drastically lower."
I currently have an Athlon XP 1700+ using the integrated TV-out in a Shuttle SK41G driving my standard def TV. This system is way too slow for HDTV as it is and I was really hoping to avoid buying an entirely new system. Anyway, I borrowed an nVidia 5600, enable XvMC (in mplayer) and was able to playback both 720p and 1080i content with about 50% CPU usage. This was without any deinterlacing as my new TV is a 1080i CRT. Bottom line, 1080i on an Athlon XP 1700+ with XvMC seems possible. -Dave _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
