I've got a myth box that I'd like to do HD playback. It's connected to

this possible? Every thing I found suggests I use Nvidia due to
superior drivers.
Thanks,

what processor?
Steve
Currently: Athlon XP 1800 but I've got an Athlon XP 3000 that may make
it's way into that PC. I'm using the onboard video for playback
currently but HD stutters too much to make it watchable.
This pc:
Asus A7N8X-VM/400
1G OCZ Dual DDR Ram
Athlon XP 1800 CPU
PCI IEEE1394 card
DCT-6412 connected via 1394
Thanks,

My personal experience has been that nvidia cards work better with myth
than radeons. A lot of people have had success with Radeons so I don't want
to give them a bad reputation. Your onboard video will work with xvmc,
which drastically lowers the cpu requirements for hd decoding. I can do it
easily on an Athlon XP 2000 with xvmc enabled. You would need to use the
nvidia binary drivers though. I recommend sticking with the onboard nvidia
stuff.
Tom
Use the onboard GeForce, drop the XP3000 in as well ;-)
With the 3000 you won't need XvmC, but like what Tom said it will reduce CPU
requirements. The faster CPU can be used for commercial detect, etc.

One more question came to mind. This onboard video is GeForce 4MX.
Will this be ok? I'm going to try XvmC to see what the results are soon
(hopefully tonight).
