The "hardware decoding" part would be XvMC, which doesn't really work on HDTV content under Myth. Wish I could report otherwise, but I spent lots 'o time trying to get it working and solicited help from all the experts here. The answer I got was "ditch XvMC and use Xv (software decoding)." It works. The nVidia 5200 card is a fine one for software decoding, and I recommend it. There was a recent article in Tom's Hardware, tho, which trashed it for DVI compatibility. I use VGA myself so I couldn't comment. The "winner" for DVI compatibility was ATI, but no one has much good to say about Radeon cards for Myth. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
