The main benefit is the reduced CPU load. Right now there are downsides<br>
to VDPAU on an underpowered system -- the OSD will cause stutter in the<br>
video if you use any of the advanced deinterlacers even on 480i, at<br>
least as of 3 weeks ago.<br>
<br>
It also is less tolerant of errors in your recording which is an issue<br>
with stuff recorded off the air, and even some firewire recordings which<br>
do drop packets from time to time.<br></blockquote><div><br><br>Very interesting observation; if others support this I think this is worth a note in the wiki.<br><br></div></div>
