I'm just wondering if anybody can help clear up my mind on the level of support on decoding from graphics cards. I have a myth box with a Duron 1200 and a single DVB card watching live tv runs around 55% CPU, I'd toyed with the idea of a graphics card to allow HD playback but having a small tv didn't really research it. However I'm almost ready to drop a second DVB-T card in and playing with it on my athlon 2600 I'd noticed high CPU whilst watching PiP with the analogue input I'm now concerned that PiP with the 2 DVB cards will be unusable on this machine. So can some kind soul help me with:
a) Quick Summary of what (nvidia) cards support what level of assistance and which features are currently supported under linux b) Will any set of features enable reasonable playback of HDTV on my machine? c) More importantly will these feature accelerate either or both pictures when playing back PIP from the two DVB-T cards? Bonus Points for any big yay or nay on particular low end models to avoid or look closely at. (I'm particularly looking at the dirt cheap ($AU60 odd) fx5200's of which there are a fair few brands floating around). Thanks. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
