<p class=MsoNormal>Now that the HDPVR drivers are stable after resolution
changes, I have set my cable box to 1080i for broadcasts that use that
resolution. I’ve noticed that mythcommflag now takes an age to
process a program. When I record the Boston Bruins on NESN HD at
1080i, it takes about 1 hour to get through the logo detection phase and
then the broadcast is processed at ~10 fps. When in 720p, mythcommflag almost
keeps up with the broadcast and finishes within a few minutes after the show is
over, going through logo detection much faster and then it processes the
broadcast at ~70 fps.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I realize that there is a lot more data in every frame when
comparing 1080i – 720p, but should I expect such a huge drop-off in
performance? All other aspects of the system are equal – on Sunday
I recorded the Patriots in 1080i and the commflag job took some 6 hours to
complete; right now I am recording the Bruins, the record time is 80% complete
and commflagging is 69% complete at 69 fps (so it’s actually catching up
to live tv). Nothing changed between those broadcasts.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Is anyone else seeing the same?<o:p></o:p></p>
