On my AMD64 3000+ system, 1080i stutters badly. I don't even think about trying to deinterlace. Output at 480p works ok, but then what's the point (my display only does 1080i or 480p)? The system is an nFroce4 Ultra socket 939 board. XvMC would be a big help on this marginal system. Do you have some suggestions on optimizing software playback on AMD64?? On another note, the recent (last 2 weeks worth) Myth svn changes have cured my status mismatch between the backend and frontend, the can only record one show before restarting the backend, and the live tv works when it feels like it problems I've been having (pcHD3000 DVB drivers). Thanks for the fine software, each svn change seems to make things a bit better.
