[mythtv-users] Playback acceleration

[Kevin Kuphal]

I have a question regarding playback.  My current MythTV setup uses a WinTV
401 card for capture and I'm outputting via VGA from my Voodoo 5500 AGP card
to my TV using a VGA to NTSC converter that works much better for my rear
projection TV than any TV-OUT I've found.

I have an ATI All-in-Wonder Raedon that I ripped out in place of the WinTV
401 because of the unsupported capture features of the card.  I'm
considering putting it back in because it provides hardware acceleration of
MPEG via XvImage.

If I substitute my ATI card for my Voodoo 5500 using the gatos drivers, will
I still enjoy the MPEG acceleration on the VGA output as opposed to the TV
output?

Also, does it matter if I'm capturing TV using MPEG-4 vs. RTJPEG in terms of
applying this acceleration.

Thanks,
Kevin
