[mythtvnz] About time for some VDPAU testing

[Douglas Pearless]

I'd concur with the 512MB for TV3 / 1080.

I am now running 180.29 and Jean-Yves patches using a QX6800 & 9400GT 
512MB, non VDPAU gives 80% on one of the cores, with VDPAU this drops to 
well under 10% (I let it use up to 2 cores leaving me 2 cores for 
everything else).

I can record 4 streams of freeview HD using a Hauppauge Nova T 500 while 
watching one of the streams, and I am also running the commerial 
flagging on the recordings as well as the Advanced 2x HW de-interlacer.

The frontend still occasionally crashes so no yet ready to risk WAF...

Cheers
Douglas.
