Re: [mythtv-users] nVidia card

Ok, thanks all!

So bottom line is, it's a great card for mythtv use.

But, would I be better off getting an fx 5500? Is it worth putting the extra money into a 256MB version rather than a 128MB? Would an MSI card be a good choice?

How hard is it to get TV out going?
I've given up on my Radeon 7000 card, cannot make tv out work under Mandrake 10.1 (I've tried all the drivers - radeon, ati.2, ...) its just beyond me.

Thanks again, this list is great help!



Cheers,


-Morten

 Hi Garry,
 
 What make is it? I've seen various cards on ebay, some of which 
 claim to be 
doing mpeg2 decoding...(which I have come to relise isn't very 
probable). 
      
Chances are, it's not "MPEG2 Decoding", it's more "MPEG2 Hardware
Assistance" (In other words, XvMC)
    

Actually, I think some of the Nvidia cards actually do sport full MPEG 
decoders... it's just that the full decoder isn't supported under 
Linux.
