</span>Given that we have not yet implemented deinterlacing with the VAAPI<br>

When I first tried out my ECS Liva, I got it to net-boot like my ION boxes, then I set the playback profile to VAAPI, and was shocked by the horrible deinterlacing. After further investigation, I realized that the net-boot root didn't have VAAPI installed, so I was falling back to the "Normal" profile. Deinterlacing looked just fine (i.e., enormously better than before) with a working VAAPI profile, so it seemed clear that VAAPI is doing at least something for deinterlacing.</div><div><br></div><div>BTW, I was almost as shocked that the Normal profile's software decoding and rendering on the Liva was basically smooth for HD-PVR recordings.</div><div><br></div><div>Jim </div></div><br></div></div>
