As a potential end user, one of my the biggest things that excited me about the PS3 was the potential to use it as a High Definition Mythtv frontend. I'm now worried that this may not be possible. Framebuffer graphics are often inadequate to play back even a standard def mpeg on x86 hardware without a lot of skipped frames and juddering in the picture. Does this news mean that PS3 Linux will be pretty much useless for video playback in SD and/or HD? _______________________________________________ yellowdog-general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general HINT: to Google archives, try '<keywords> site:terrasoftsolutions.com'
