[mythtv-users] CLE266, lddmpeg: revisited.

[Stuart Felenstein]

I tend to think that you can pick up a progressive scan dvd player for under a $100.  The real grunt work for htpc's has to be recorded and even more so, live tv.  They are basically the same right.  Both are recorded.  One to a file, one to a buffer.  The hardware acceleration / decoding is extremely important.

I agree, my M10kN is capable of fluidly playing a high quality DVD in 
software, now, I've build 0.13 with ddmpeg support, so I'll see how it works 
with hardware mpeg decoding.
