[mythtvnz] State of h264 decoding

[Richard (lists)]

The 8400GS is hardly noisy or hot, and at least in windows does a great job
of playing all the freeview HD channels and even bluray, so I would expect
similar once the access to the GPU is sorted from myth.

 

Its available in a passive Heatsink even, so its TDP must be pretty low.
Standalone boxes manage h.264 without even heatsinks on chips so there is no
reason for a decoder to be hot and noisy.

Hi Nick,

Yes realize that, but my question is about the G45 chipset, I don't want to
put a noisy hot nvidia card in my machine, especially as the G45 is more
than adequate. Their was talk of G45 support in the 2.6.28 kernel hence my
question?

Until that happens, I would like to know if others have stability problems
with the software decoding libs ..
