[mythtv-users] bob & 800x600 - can someone test?

[Nick Bartos]

I am having an extremely annoying problem that I can't seem to fix.  At
this point I am wondering if I am doing something screwy and I'm the only
one who is having this problem.  If someone else could test bob
deinterlacing with 800x600 I would really appreciate it.

Basically the problem I am having is that the xorg cpu sticks at about 99%
(of one core of a pentium d 3.2GHz).  It does not necessarily start there.
 If opengl vsync is enabled, then it seems to take less time getting to
99%.  If opengl vsync is disabled, it still gets to 99% but it seems to
take longer.  In either case, once it is there it seems to generally stick
there (although not always).

I am running the nvidia 7676 drivers (on a nvidia 6600, svideo out), but I
have tried several different driver versions.

I pretty much have to use bob deinterlacing, since that is the only way I
can actually forget I am watching tv from a computer.  Kernel deinterlace
is close but just doesn't do it good enough.  Although, with kernel I get
MUCH lower cpu utilization.

I would use 720x480, but I can't do that since bob deinterlacing doesn't
work reliably (after pausing, changing channels, etc it stutters very
badly).  At 720x480 the xorg process doesn't do that, but after I pause I
am screwed so I can't use that resolution.  There is a bug report in for
that problem I see, but I tried svn last night and the problem was still
there so that's not an option at this point.
