I posted the following on my homepage this morning:<br>
<p>I bought a dual Opteron 244 back in November of 2003
because I wanted a really, really fast desktop machine. Around the same
time, I started playing with <a href="http://www.mythtv.org/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">MythTV</a>,
and it wasn't long after that I got a <a href="http://www.pchdtv.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">pcHDTV</a>
HD-2000 card and began watching high-definition programming.
Unfortunately, despite the Opteron's superior I/O bus design and
incredibly speedy processing, it had more trouble decoding HDTV than
did a much cheaper non-HT uniproc Pentium 4.</p>
<p>It has taken quite some time for MythTV to get to the point where it
can reasonably be used with this configuration. Recently, a version of
ffmpeg that appears to be optimized for <a href="http://www.x86-64.org/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">AMD64</a> has been imported into the
Myth CVS repository: to get this, make sure to uncheck the "uselibmpeg"
option in Setup/TV Settings/Playback. However, this alone isn't
sufficient.</p></blockquote><div><br>

it. If you have problems and are able to determine what I've left out,
let me know so I can add the appropriate config elements.</p>

I have this same MB/CPU combo, but I am using a 5200 graphics card and
a PVR-250. I don't have it working yet (the 250 is eluding
me). Do you have any words of wisdom or has anything changed in
the past couple weeks since you originally posted this? I was
going to try .18, have you tried it yet?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
