It all depends on what you're doing.

If you're playing regular TV with S-Video ouput, then your first concern
is probably getting overscan to work correctly (as with the 4363 binary
drivers).

If your CPU isn't very powerful, then you'll need Xv support.

If you're displaying HDTV, then you need XvMC support.

As it stands now, the only driver for nvidia cards that does all that is
the 4363 release.
