After some research I see that is not a suitable platform for HDTV, max mpeg2 assisted decoding is 1024x1024. Im after some way to display HDTV channels, but not even at the true HDTV resolution (my display device is only 800x600 projector) with some sort of acceleration as to not bottom out the CPU. I have tried other options such as XvMC (libxineoutput) and had poor results with a/v sync, but excellent results in decoding. I like softdevice and have been using it for a long time. I think we need an XvMC softdevice :) And I know this has been said a thousand times before ... > Cheers, > > Laz > _______________________________________________ > Softdevice-devel mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/softdevice-devel > > _______________________________________________ Softdevice-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/softdevice-devel
