I am probably asking a stupid question, you do have the binary proprietary
nvidia drivers installed and enabled?

All I had to do was enable the driver and set the playback profile.

Look under system administration hardware drivers in gnome, not sure in xcfe

Hi,

I'm running MythBuntu 9.10 and just purchased an Nvidia 9400GT card.
I looked at the VDPAU info at:

  http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/VDPAU

I think I need to recompile mythtv. It says...

MythTV

 ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-proc-opt --disable-joystick-menu \
 --disable-firewire --disable-hdhomerun --disable-xvmcw --enable-xvmc-opengl
\
 --enable-vdpau  --disable-directfb --enable-opengl-vsync

MythPlugins

 ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-opengl --enable-mytharchive \
 --disable-mythbrowser --disable-mythcontrols --disable-mythflix \
 --enable-mythgallery --disable-mythgame --enable-mythmusic
--disable-mythnews \
 --disable-mythphone --enable-mythvideo --disable-mythweather \
 --disable-mythzoneminder --disable-mythmovies

Can somebody give me a little direction?  The above two references
look like compile parameters I need to put in a file.  If so, where
should it be located, and what should it be called?  What is the
command to compile?

I'm running on a AMD 9350e quad core with 2 GB ram.  I'm using the
VDPAU Normal playback profile.  The video quality is very good, but my
four cores are running between 10-30% (concurrently).  I think VDPAU
must be running on my CPU instead of the 9400 GPU.  When I change my
playback profile to VDPAU High Quality, the video stutters.

Any help is apprieciatd.

Thanks,
Greg
