Hi all, The UK is slowly moving over to HD, and I'm starting to plan the hardware upgrades needed to get my freevo system working with 1080p data.
Currently I have a via SP13000 which has hardware accelerated MPEG2 playback, but doesn't do MPEG4 (I think the hardware might be capable but the drivers are not there yet). But either way 1080p playback doesn't work (just tired with the transformers 1080p quicktime trailer download). The limitation is that I have a ultra slim line case, which will only fix a microATX motherboard with a low profile CPU cooler... which is kinda limited :) But the case is gorgeous and I don't want to change it (case pictures here http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2005/02/22/hiper_media_chassis/1 ) and was one of the requirements for being allowed a PC in the lounge ;) Does anyone have any recommendations of microATX motherboards / CPU combinations with a built in graphics card that has good Linux support and will cope with HD content playback, preferably with enough headroom to record at least 1 HD stream to disk at the same time (e.g. hardware accelerated playback if at all possible) Cheers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
