My Via Epia was unable to use VDPAU because the CPU lacked the CMOV<br>
instruction. A Nehemiah/Esther CPU is required to get CMOV and thus<br>
VDPAU. One way to check would be to look at the kernel you're running<br>
-- i686 should be good for VDPAU, but i386/i486/i586/Cyrix/Samuel/Ezra<br>
("Eden") is not.<br>
<br>
You may not need VDPAU, though, The UniChrome graphics built-in to<br>
your Via board comes in two flavors, one of which is limited to SD,<br>
the other of which can play HD. So if you have the right one, you<br>
should be able to play HD content with somewhat less than 100% CPU. I<br>
don't believe UniChrome + XvMC supports all of the fancy deinterlacers<br>
that VDPAU does, but when outputting to an SD TV, onefield should be<br>
sufficient.<br>

<br></blockquote></div><br><br>Fortunately this one includes a Nehemiah processor and the CMOV extension so i'll try a pci 8400gs as a cheap upgrade to HD. The 60W external power supply should be enough. <br><br>the HD source will be BBC & ITV HD from dvb-s source so its h.264 material not mpeg2 :(<br>
<br>thanks for your advice<br><br><br>
