I think the real test is high bitrate h264, as from an HD-PVR. With the<br>
upcoming release of 0.22, many more folks may be using the HD-PVRs.<br>
<br>
ATSC is MPEG2, relatively easy to decode, at least compared to h264.<br>
<br>
Any solution that can't cope with h264 is off the table as far as I'm<br>
concerned.<br>

Good point. I've definitely used it many times with 720p H.264, but I don't know the bitrate. And 1080p H.264 once (the Indiana Jones Movie trailer). All without noticeable playback issues.<div><div></div><div class="h5">
