difficult for even the big dogs to decode 1080p ;)<br>
<br></blockquote></div><br>I've got a 6400+ in my machine and I couldn't do 1080p - it was stuttering quite badly. Then I did some updates from mythbuntu, one of which I think was an X update and suddenly things got a lot smoother. Its still not perfect, but totally watchable. I tried all sorts of xorg and mplayer commands - none of which ever really helped. CPU still spikes at 100% - but a lot of content has black bars top and bottom which I think helps a little - I only have one 1080p x264 video which is full res and like I say its watchable - but stutters on slow panning shots still.<br clear="all">
<br>I'm now moving to a separate front/backend in the hope that this will help in the future so that its an easier job of changing things to get the performance without messing around with my backend anymore.<br><br>--<br>
