Some of them have AMD/ATI graphics. In both cases (Intel/AMD)<br>
you would be running VAAPI rather than VDPAU.<br>

<br>
The ones with ATI graphics are "upgrades" and they cost even more.<br>

Yea, when I was first looking at this an option the MacMini was about $499 with a CPU / Memory that could handle the issue and the built in graphics were "ok" enough that you could use them...not great by any means but reported useable. <br>
Now it looks like you're looking at about $700 for a system that would be considered "in spec" these days. That's too much, even for the form factor you won't find anywhere else.<br>

<br>
The rumour mill thinks that the Mini may be updated soon. Eg:<br>

<br>
Also, after that, the now-current version will be available in the Refurbished section of the Apple Store at a discount.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>My current mythfrontend is the first generation intel mac mini running ubuntu. Works decent, but some videos are jerky on it. That mini runs very hot and has a fan. I am going to keep on eye on the refurbished mini supply though.</div>
