<font size="-1"><font face="Arial">Ok, I have a wimpy machine as a
frontend using a 1.6Ghz Athlon XP and a GF6200 outputting to a 1080p
TV, but currently only trying 720p. I am playing HD QAM recordings out
the DVI to HDMI input and optical to a receiver. <br>
<br>
Even when outputting at 1080p the little machine will usually works
just fine, but 1/10 times the cpu usage of mythfrontend will sky
rocket. Even after resetting Xorrg it will not work, but usually a
reboot clears it up. Sad part is because of using a CF to IDE adapter
and DMA issues, a reboot takes ~5 miutes for the kernel to be happy
with no DMA and boot up. After that things are snappy. During these
cpu spikes the video will still play fine, but the audio gets all
jumpy. I have to have XvMC set up right because this box would not be
able to output 720p or 1080i to 1080p with out it I wouldn't think.<br>
