I've got an 8400 in my workstation rig. Has anyone got some FreeviewHD
clips that I can download to test? I'll see if I can get this set up
tonight.
Cheers,
Sam.

I don't either, but I am interested to hear how it goes for our DVB-T h.264
streams.
If it works out well, I am willing to put the patches into my PPA build.
Hopefully that'll motivate someone to try it out and send results to the
list.

I will have a box assembled in about two weeks, maybe sooner, with an 8500
(and a dual 3.16G Intel) intended for MythBuntu, if this
is not too far away (Sorry I know it is...!!) I'd be delighted to do what
I can... If it could help mail me off list Paul et al.
Kind regards
David

The box I'm building has an 8800 GT. I'd be glad to test. However I'm
swamped right now, and am missing a cable, so it might be a week or two
before I can do anything.
My laptop (which I'm typing from now) has an 8600M GT; no MythTV, but I
could probably find a little time to play with the new nVidia stuff in
the next few days.

At the moment the best way to test is with MPlayer. Might be a while
before we see MythTV patches.

Would we need MythTV patches? Myth can be configured to use ffmpeg as its
decoder and if that is patched (which the nVidia release says they have
patched)
then surely that would do all the heavy lifting for Myth? Or am I missing
something?

I believe Myth doesn't link to ffmpeg directly, it has an internal
copy (which is modified). So Myth will need to be synched to the new
version of ffmpeg (once that project adopts the nVidia patches) or the
nVidia patches need to be applied to the local copy. How long it takes
all depends on how large and invasive nVidia's changes are.
Cheers,
Steve
