Can anybody else make sense of this guy's tests? They seem to suggest that it would be capable of playing it back, albeit at near 100% cpu with occasional drops (which would, though annoying, be ok. So long as it only does it occasionally...) Matthew Mousseau AMSVans, Inc.

It's definately a decoding issue, but considering the Mac video drivers don't expose any kind of Hardware Accelleration on the video card, all the decoding's being done in CPU, which ain't got the guts to do it. -- Robert "Anaerin" Johnston _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
