<pre wrap="">Running as a myth frontend I can play SDTV clips - myth recorded and
otherwise - all day long with no problems. It looks great. I use it to
watch the news (with headphones) while the rest of the family is
watching a movie that I don't watch,

You've probably got one of the newer chips? Mine is old. Circa 2001, I think.
I've been playing with xxmc in Xine on my i810 this evening. It works. I even
got it doing Bob deinterlace. CPU usage gain isn't very impressive though.
If anything, I think I only gained a few % CPU idle during playback of interlaced
DVD previews. At worst, it didn't make a difference at all. I'm running a 933mhz
P3 w/256k cache on a 133mhz FSB. about 60% usage w/XvMC. Sometimes up to 70% with
plain XV. Picture bounces a bit on static screens, but it's usually pretty nice
looking during playback.
No luck getting it to run in mythfrontend yet. It claims the surface doesn't
support XvMC. Probably I don't have it compiled correctly. I did turn on the
ChromaKey OSD though. It flickers under my i810. :) I don't think that happens
on my NV FX 5200.

xxmc? On an i810? Am I missing something here? Last I checked xxmc
is for VIA Unichrome boards. Has the i810 XvMC code been put
together to match the libXvMCW API? I think I had better catch up a
little now that I am back, the weekend is over, Peter and Gordon have
reunited (you need to be 40+ to even have a chance of knowing who
they are, but Peter Asher was Mike Meyers' inspiration for Austin
Powers so it was great to get to meet him), my webcast is complete
and now it just plain old exhaustion, adrenaline and caffeine.<br>
<br>
Where should I start looking at this stuff? The laptop has FC4 on it
right now, so that's my starting point.<br>
