Using VDPAU drops the cpu requires to practically nothing. For example, my weakest VDR box is running on an Intel Atom 230 1.6ghz with ION gpu (1st gen). Watching 1080i with temporal-spatial deinterlace, the cpu hovers around 12%. Even when using software deinterlacing, it doesn't take a lot of cpu horsepower until you want to use advanced/high quality deinterlacers.
That being said, it's hard to beat VDPAU. For the cost of about a $30 video card, you can turn an old piece of crap pc collecting dust in your closet, into a full-blown htpc. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
