My original post still stands use VLC to interface with card directly<br>
(in command line mode) - and push it over the network or file then<br>
check it if you can't decode it on the box.<br>
<br>
2* 1080p streams is more than enough to cram up the IO subsystem<br>
switching between pci bus, disc io and network on older hardware.<br>
<br>
Go look up the duron and chipset arch and do some sums.<br>
<br>
It's the same reason you can't run good performance out of older<br>
ARM/MIPs based NAS devices (cheap ones on the market) they simply<br>
can't sustain r/w io from the discs or the network from the cpu bus.<br>
