My "Mark 1" eyeballs for one source.<br>
<br>
The 9400GT with 2x H/W deinterlace has degraded playback c.f. 1x H/W
deinterlace.<br>
JYA has commented on this model v.s. 9500.<br>
<br>
I would not recommend the 9400GT as for a couple of dollars more you
get a 9500.<br>
Better still get the GT220. This has full hardware decoding & much
better performance v.s. power dissipation.<br>
<br>
What's the point spending money on old model video card that will never
have feature set, no matter what happens to drivers & will burn
more electricity than purchase price difference in couple of months.<br>
The running costs of a HTPC is very important, a better video card
& hi eff PSU is important.<br>
<br>
Check the wikipedia nvidia page for GFLOPS & power features. etc..<br>

I doubt your video card (nv8200) is up to h.264 decoding.
You would need to set the absolute minimum configuration.
You need a 9400GT as minimum, nvidia 9500 is better.

Where is the information source that confirms 9400's cannot do 2x HW?
I've set mine to 2x HW and they play TV3 fine. They run 85 degrees on passive air, expect fan to be lower and water is <= 45
degrees. No deterioration in image that I can see.
