i have made the same test on two different machines, and found the same. so i guess this is good for checking footage and rendered results, but for the real workflow we still have to use the compositor window.
also, i could find no way of sending xine / mplayer output to tv-out except through the x server (twin-view or separate x-screen). a desirable solution would be to have extra tv-out apart from x. probably the most typical purpose would be watching tv through the pc, as received by the tv card, and output to an analogue tv set which still delivers more brilliant colors than any digital flatscreen. yes, there is a rather cumbersome way to configure the x server to serve the tv and to make mplayer use it in fullscreen mode... but apart from difficulty, there are a number of serious disadvantages. first, one has to sacrifice the higher resolution of the computer screen, second, one has to sacrifice any other twinview-connected monitor, and third, i could not manage to navigate dvd menus... obviously there is still a lot to do, probably also with the graphics drivers (i have nvidia but i guess ati does not do better) to support three devices at a time... there are three connectors on the card! georg On Monday, 18.
