Also, searching various nVidia-related boards didn't yield any
definitive answers to my problem, but it did mention a few people
having problems with XvMC with various incarnations of nVidia's
drivers. Also, nothing about my specific card (6200). So, if anyone
has a similar setup to mine, and you have XvMC working, could you
please tell me which version of nVidia's drivers you're using? Thanks!
My TV (Panasonic PT-47X54) does 540P and 1080i. It will accept 480i/p, and convert it to 540p. It won't do 720p at all.
I can get a 1080i screen using component out, but playing video locks it up hard. I'm using 540p over the DVI output, and the 2500+ just keeps up. Skipping forward or backward on 1080i material causes it to stutter briefly, until it settles down. 720p is slightly better, and 480i is no problem at all. Everything is converted to 540P. It works well enough that I'm waiting before upgrading.
I did need to recompile MythTV to get XvMC to work.
The new nVidia 6150 chipset with integrated graphics looks like a possible upgrade. It appears to be designed for HDTV, unlike the GPUs where the primary aim is 3D gaming performance. I like my 6200, but get the feeling that HDTV is an afterthought. At any rate, I'll upgrade when I see a good 1080i solution at a budget price.
