Don't sweat it, Chuck. We're mostly good people on the list, and we do know who the knuckleheads are. Thanks for sharing, and don't let one idiot get you down. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

H the silence is deafening. Looks like Chuck (I have heard of chuck steak, wot kind of name is chuck?) is a complete dolt ;-) , he even used a dummy mail address typical coward that he is. lmao. Wow impressive hardware. What distro were you using? so that I won't use it. When you installed linux did you select the smp kernel option? What window manager did you use? What ripping software were you using to rip DVDs? Because when I rip dvds using the myth interface. I don't go and watch a show in myth. Funny you are comparing 2 different hardware. Why haven't you got MCE running on the dual PIII? I have Myth running on XP2800 with 512 meg of ram and a fusion HDTV card, with Audigy2 card. I don't have any problems with viewing TV, or dripping my dvds or music. Your problem is laughable you are comparing apples and oranges. If we were to value your point of view compare apples with apples. Hi, Actually I'll throw in some useful facts. I did have a dual PIII-550 system with 2gigs of ram running mythtv with a software encoder card. I found from a system perspective that I could get good live tv off the following specs: MPEG4 encoding bitrate 4000 (scaled) Capture at: 320x240 (?don't remember these settings) mpg audio encoding, quality 7 (no features turned on) If my system wasn't loaded then I could do live TV/pause/etc. The OSD was a little slow to pop up. Screen wise, I would see Mpeg4 artifacts. Now, please bear in mind that this system was also my server (file, web, mysql, and development box). By Nicing -19 my mythbackend and making sure i didn't load up too many processes things were okay. However, if I tried to do a compile or rip more then 1 DVD at a time (all at nice +19) then the system would stutter all over the place. I also noticed that I could run RTJPEG with out much cpu loading on this machine... but ran into soo many IO bound issues that it effectively strangled the machine so I'd do the Mpeg4, just turn down the capture size significantly and you should be okay. I'm now running an MCE150 card in another machine doing video capture. The quality is worlds better then the software encoding card in an XP2400 box...file sizes are much larger, but over all its a better experience. -Chuck ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Wow, What did I miss? Dolt? Insulting me? Dummy email address? Just too busy to read the lists that much Perhaps you should be thinking super busy, trying to be nice and add back to the community... as in ... heck you can run a software encoder at 320x240 and a 1 gig pIII has slightly more output then a dual pIII 550 (usually the 2nd processor adds about 70% capacity due to load/store collisions, etc..). I'd think similar settings would probably work [Keep with me here... I'm sure you can do it]... but really the hw cards are much nicer picture quality... blah blah blah...riding on previous scanned thread... probably worth the extra expense...blah blah blah and etc. As far as all that other krap ola... huh? I didn't say... its not relevent really... last time I checked the list there weren't that many newbie's... etc... Thought I was being clear oh well. Did some one actually have a real question? Or just is bored and trying on flame war 101 cause they're not busy? I'm happy for you that you've got all this free time. Some of us don't. -Chuck --- Kevin Saenz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: H the silence is deafening.
