<div>Good day all,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>For Christmas I received a LG Blu-ray drive and some Blu-ray discs. I've managed to get them into a 'playable' state in Linux - but have a few problems - Myth video player and my distros version of mplayer don't like VC-1, or HD-audio (and Iron Man only has Spanish and French in ac3!). I don't have a regular blu-ray player - so my Mythbox is my only way of playing these discs.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I was thinking of getting a new video card in one of my frontends that can support VDPAU (including VC-1 - which pushes me towards the 9200 or 9300 cards) and running the Nvidia beta drivers (180.16). At this stage I would only upgrade to a VDPAU-able version of mplayer - to play my Bluray rips (of my own discs!).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>At this stage I don't want to jump over to Myth trunk - the WAF would not allow for it (I may at some point in the new year if I get a HDPVR or wait for 0.22). So my question is - will running the beta Nvidia drivers with a bog-standard myth -fixes branch work? Has anything changed in the (non-VDPAU) API that would cause Myth to fail / not run correctly. I realise the nvidia drivers themselves are beta and may cause some instability - but any issues with myth?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My system is a separate backend (running Fedora 10, libraries from rpmfusion, and self-compiled -fixes branch), relevant frontend is running Ubuntu 8.10 with a self-compiled -fixes.</div>

<div>Thanks and happy new year,<br>Nick</div>
