was probably falling back to software/OpenGL. Try VAAPI instead. Not quite
as good as VDPAU, especially in deinterlacing, but many people find it
acceptable. I understand the open source AMD/ATI driver supports VDPAU (not
sure about its capabilities) but I haven't heard about any AMD-based micro
computers similar to the Liva, etc. They may exist; I haven't actively
searched for them.

most is in scrolls such as in newsfeeds or sportscasts. They tend to be
jerky.

I've purchased a couple of these:

They work great with the remote included, or with my Harmony remotes.  Not
as cheap as I'd like,  but at some point the hassle of a cheap IR receiver
may not be worth it.
