I just tried using XvMC hardware decoding with my geforce4 MX 440 and
driver 7174, and I got stutter (altho my mythfrontend CPU consumption
dropped from 20% to about 10%. ONce I turned that hardware
decoding off, the stutter went away, but the CPU consumption went back
up as expected. <br>
<br>
Not sure if this is supposed to work for my setup, but it doesn't appear to.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 4/15/05, <b class="gmail_sendername">Kees van Bemmel</b> <<a href="mailto:keesvanbemmel@gmail.com">
