I think something is going on with some people's builds that silently prevents libmpeg2 from working.
There are people who post to this mailing list, and the dev list, who specifically claim 1080i with 2100+ and even 1800+, but more than that, I spoke with someone in IRC who turned it on and saw a huge drop in CPU utilization. Then there are people like you, me, and a few other posts I've read, who turn it on, see no difference, and are like "WTF - looks like a NOP to me."
Is there anyone (HDTV equipped) who has libmpeg2 working and can share distro/hardware stats/build steps/tweaks/advice?
Sure. Heres my setup.
Hardware: MSI K7N2GM-L Mobo, XP2100+, 768 RAM, PNY Nvidia 5700 LE outputting to Audio Authority 9A60 to connect to a Mitsubishi WS55413 HDTV, 1 air2pc, 1 pcHDTV3k, 1 PVR-250
Software: FC2 based, custom kernel with DVB support for air2pc and pchdtv3k, ivtv from cks site, followed instructions from Angel Lis site to compile new kernel, compiled from CVS of 2/14/05.
I am using libmepg2 with no skips, bumps, audio drop outs, no synch issues. Clear playback during lasts nights 3 episodes of Law and Order on NBC. Did nothing extra during compile of CVS for libmpeg2 support. No tweaks, no extra build steps. Works fine for me out of the box with libmpeg2.
