I have a machine in my computer room, Athlon 1gig, 512M ram, NV 5700U that can keep up with 1080i content using XvMC and Bob. Plays 720p content ok as well. Output screensize is 1024x768 so there's even a bit of scaling going on. Turn XvMC off and that's a whole 'nother story. Non-HD, but I have a machine at a friends house, Celeron 233, 5200 PCI XvMC that can play PVR-250 encoded content just fine. Using XvMC the bottom is pretty low, but you have to be prepared to deal with the "quirks" of occasional crashes. (The prebuffering one is the last real pain in my @$$) _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
