I posted the following on my homepage this morning:
I bought a dual Opteron 244 back in November of 2003 because I wanted a really, really fast desktop machine. Around the same time, I started playing with MythTV, and it wasn't long after that I got a pcHDTV HD-2000 card and began watching high-definition programming. Unfortunately, despite the Opteron's superior I/O bus design and incredibly speedy processing, it had more trouble decoding HDTV than did a much cheaper non-HT uniproc Pentium 4.
It has taken quite some time for MythTV to get to the point where it can reasonably be used with this configuration. Recently, a version of ffmpeg that appears to be optimized for AMD64 has been imported into the Myth CVS repository: to get this, make sure to uncheck the "uselibmpeg" option in Setup/TV Settings/Playback. However, this alone isn't sufficient.
<SNIP>
If you have success with this configuration, I'd love to hear about it. If you have problems and are able to determine what I've left out, let me know so I can add the appropriate config elements.
Cheers,
Kyle
I have this same MB/CPU combo, but I am using a 5200 graphics card and a PVR-250. I don't have it working yet (the 250 is eluding me). Do you have any words of wisdom or has anything changed in the past couple weeks since you originally posted this? I was going to try .18, have you tried it yet?
Thanks,
Greg
