I finally bought the CoreAVC decoder and did the necessary<br>
patches and recompile of mplayer. Results are pretty<br>
spectacular.<br>
<br>
Load pre-patch with standard atrpms mplayer would hit 5<br>
easy. I would constantly get the "your cpu is too slow"<br>
warnings as well. With the coreavc stuff my load hovers<br>
between .9 and 1.1 and multiple cpus are clearly used.<br>
Playback is smooth and I can jump around in the video<br>
with no issues.<br>
<br>
I'm not affiliated with the coreavc stuff, and it took me<br>
3 weeks to drop the whopping $15 to try it, but I'm<br>
certainly glad I did.<br>
<br>
I haven't patched mythtv yet, only because it would<br>
make the upgrades harder. It would be cool if they<br>
could make the patch part of the mythtv code base,<br>
so patching wouldn't be necessary.<br>
<br>
Hope this info is useful to someone,<br>
<br>
Scott<br>
