[mythtv-users] playback profiles... help.

[Sarah Hayes]

Yes, I'm being an idiot and whilst I REALLY like 0.21 I'm trying to 
understand the default playback profiles. I get what they're doing.

The defaults seem to be: Slim, CPU+, CPU++, High Quality, CPU--, 
Normal.   I'm assuming these are the pre-defined ones but it could be 
something chucked in to Gentoo... if it is I'll go ask in their forums :)

I'd guess High Quality is "best of the best" with all the goodies turned 
on, but I'm having a hard time with the others, especially the ones that 
make mention of ivtv, which I thought was for driving a PVR card?  I get 
the resolution checking and differing rendering engines bit, I'm just 
wonder what the intended use is and what sort of proc/speed's fit in to 
those defaults... is a C3 a 'cpu+' or a 'cpu--' or indeed a 'slim' sort 
of thing.

Any one with advice welcome.
