We absolutely do recommend nVidia hardware, and we don't try
to dissuade<br>
people from VDPAU. What we are recommending against is people
buying<br>
ION systems, thinking hardware decoding is the end-all
solution to<br>
everything, without knowing its potentially severe
limitations.<br>

<div>what about the AMD Fusion, with nvidia GPU?<br>

The whole point of the Fusion is that you get the power savings of
that integrated GPU. If you get an 18W CPU, only to pair it up with
a 40W GPU, why bother gimping yourself with something that's only
moderately more powerful than an Atom.<br>

<div>also, when the onslaught of hardware video decoding on all

nVidia. They have proven themselves with reliable drivers for years
now, and VDPAU is still far more capable than VAAPI in terms of
built-in post processing support (deinterlacing). Beyond that, the
nVidia drivers offer a number of nice features that allow you to
better deal with various TVs that are simply not an option with AMD
and Intel drivers.<br>
