[mythtv-users] Stutter issues with HDTV

[john roberts]

Hi - me again - the HDTV stutter guy. :)

The only way I've been able to get my HDTV 1080i content not to stutter is with using XvMC enabled.  Ane I've confirmed the quality of the picture is less then "software" enabled de-interlacing support.

So - I'm thinking of buying a new CPU and I'm wondering what speed I should get.

I currently have a 2.6G P4 HT 800 FSB.  I've heard from others (Wendy on the list) who has had stutter issues with a 3.0 P4 HT.

Do I need to go to 3.2G?  Is this not a CPU issue?  I've had this HDTV stutter issue with 0.15.1 and the latest (as of 8/16/04) CVS tree.

Any thoughts before I go my a new processor?  I'm not crazy about the idea of doing so - the darn things are expensive.  I thought by getting a FX5500 (which would do XvMC) I wouldn't have had to do this.

Thanks,

-John
