It works fine, I'm doing it here. But you need a lot of CPU as you don't get any help from the GPU. 3Ghz dual core seems about right for most anything you want to do. If you're not doing h264, a slower CPU can get it done. I'm outputting 720p as that's what my display can do. But there is no reason your card can't output 1080p, it's lower resolution than many modern monitors. Deinterlacing is done in software as well, and works very well. There are a number of types to choose from in Myth, what you use depends on how much CPU you can spare and what looks good to you. Just try some of them and see what you like. HD material seems to do well with even the lower quality deinterlacers. 1080i broadcast stuff looks great without going nuts on deinterlace. <br>

I was searching the archives for non XVMC playback of HD content and most of the posts were rather old.<br><br>I am curious how people are finding HD playback with nvidia cards that do not support XVMC. I am concerned how the PC will render 1080p with deinterlacing without XVMC. <br>
<br>I have an nvidia 8500gt. <br><br>Thanks,<br><font color="#888888"><br>Al<br>
