I use the DXR3 simply because it's easier to get/setup/and install than it is to actually get my hands on G400 cards.
Nvidia cards are a major pain in the arse to get working, 2 cards that are supposed to be the same will act 100% different in the same machine. I also modify the dxr3 card to have a video out RCA for composite video. It disables the spdif digital audio out but I could care less about that. (I have listened to digital audio and analog audio on a high end system, the difference in quality is minimal.) One strange side effect, the DXR3 should take more processor power to display a divx file as mplayer is transcoding the divx to mpeg2 and then sending it to the dxr3, but it doesn't. I find that divx playback on the framebuffer takes more processor power than the dxr3 output does. I personally like the dxr3 for output, but it does take quite a bit more work to get it working, and every freevo runtime update will break it by replacing the SDL libs you patched, so you have to copy them back to /usr/local/freevo/runtime/dll. -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Bettencourt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2003 10:35 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Freevo-users] Re: overscan settings and dxr3 Somewhat unrelated question. Do people think that the dxr3 card is the best to build a freevo box around?? I mean, it is only like 25$ so that is a big plus :) although it looks a bit harder to setup than other soln's.
