Please share what kernel / nvidia driver version / xorg settings. I'm having trouble playing 720p sourced recordings on a single frontend machine with far more horsepower than that. 1080i plays fine, but 720p can't keep up. I think it's a driver issue of some sort, since Mythfrontend never seems to take more than 25% of the cpu, but the CPU load is 1.xx average. Here's the current config of my frontend: Asus A7N8X deluxe 512M PC3200 @ 200mhz Mobile Barton 2400 (1800mhz stock) @ 2100mhz Nvidia 5200 ultra (non-OC'd) AGP Nvidia 66.29 drivers VGA out to VGA-componant adapter 960x540p screen rez.
