<div class="">I am so tempted to buy several of these
ECS Livas. I want them to be the go to solution for
a cheap frontend, but the deinterlacer on the Intel
graphics within MythTV is just not up to par with
VDPAU IMO. I found it to be a deal breaker.</div>

<div class="">Is my understanding correct that the
Intel graphics linux drivers have VDPAU quality
deinterlacer capability, but integration needs to be
added to MythTV? I may have this wrong. I am no
authority about what parts of the decoding process
are done by the graphics chip or the software.</div>

I thought VDPAU is VDPAU and there is no quality
differentiation between implementations. <br class="">

<div class="">Nvidia graphics use VDPAU</div>
<div class="">Intel graphics, such as in the ECS Liva, use VAAPI</div>

Ah, hence the confusion. So as I recall there is *some* support for
VAAPI now. But it sounds like the ECS Liva is using some newer
implementation for which there is little or no support.<br class="">
<br class="">
Yes, that would be a deal breaker. <br class="">
