Steve,<br><br>That would make sense then. I think PowerDVD is using multi-core, it definitely isn't using hardware acceleration for the graphics in Nvidia 6100 onboard and HW acceleration is turned off.<br><br>So can I probably infer from this that somewhere around 3.0GHz (maybe a bit less for Intel) is required to decode the H.264 stream, in software, without skip loop filter? I have heard others here mention other issues such as segfaults, but I am still looking to setup a myth box for Freeview|HD eventually and don't mind just getting a grunty enough machine to do it, if the requirements aren't too far out.<br>
