I was doing some playing around with my main frontend last night, and<br>playing an HD signal without XvMC enabled, I had (on a dual core P4) 99%<br>usage on core one (MFE) and 56% usage on core two (X). With XvMC<br>enabled, I had about 45% CPU combined, so XvMC *is* working for me on my
<br>main system. This was with current SVN as of last night, and the latest<br>nVidia beta drivers (9742). I had no stuttering, no prebuffer pauses, or<br>any other issues, aside from what *seems* like frame skipping, but I see
<br>nothing in the logs to indicate that, so I'm not sure if it's real or not.</blockquote><div><br>Hmmm...Well I built the lastest SVN and I'm using nVidia 9631 drivers (not quite what you have) and I've still got lots of problems. Of course, that might just be my CPU. I can playback using XvMC with just a bit of hiccuping. For some content, I can keep my CPU down to about 70% (on my P4
2.4GHz) but for much of the programming it jumps to 99%. The heavy X utilization has disappeared (both with and without XvMC). I'm not sure why though.<br><br>In short, I'm still lacking a viable HD solution (even with XvMC running). :-(
