You've been given bad information. There are _some_ HDTV channels broadcast in mpeg2 but most are h264. > Currently I need to use a Core 2 Quad (Q6600 @ 2.40GHz) to get decent and > stutter-free H264 decoding using software (FFMpeg SVN, Xine-lib 1.2, > Xine-UI and vdr-xine plugin).

I'd say something was misconfigured or so. Btw, I use CoreAVC here and the cpu usage doesn't go above about 87% on that x2 4400. The h264 implimentation in ffmpeg was very unstable when I tried it although I heard it's gotten much better. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
