I have a 2.4GHz P4, and a PVR350. Here's what I get: 1) Myth mpeg2 recordings (~5000kbps) decoding: ~12% CPU. 2) Myth mpeg4 recordings (transcoded) decoding: 20-25% CPU.
I haven't checked CPU load with DVDs, but I imagine it will be similar to #1 above, CSS cracking notwithstanding. --- John Harvey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:ivtv-devel- > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of K.R. > Foley > > Sent: 22 July 2005 02:18 > > To: [email protected] > > Subject: Re: [ivtv-devel] [XDRIVER] version 0.10.5 > ivtv xdriver - 2nd > > attempt > > > > > > It should work for that.
