over gigabit Ethernet. It has been completely satisfactory and I have no
performance concerns about it. Others have reported success with HD
content. There is the caveat that deinterlacing with VAAPI is not as high
quality as what is possible using VDPAU, but personally I've never noticed
a problem with deinterlacing. And of course, buying the Liva-X would not
address that issue anyway.
