Not a lot of traffic about this on the MythTV-dev list yet, but a  
couple of other sites have picked up on it.

I've put the announcement up at mythtv.co.nz and phoronix have already  
benchmarked the code - http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=nvidia_vdpau&num=1

Most of the discussions are currently on NVNews forums

Still a bit early, but appears to be excellent news for HTPC and  
MythTV users.

So does anyone on list have a card they can do some testing against. I  
don't have anything with 8xxx or 9xxx generation HW at present.
