XvMC or is it better?

Mitchell is very excited to get his 8400 in the mail and start testing
this.

Thanks!

Make sure you have the 180.x driver installed (and have supported hardware),<br>
then patch myth, make distclean, re-run configure, and then all you need to do<br>
is set the decoder/renderer to vdpau in the video playback profile settings.<br>

<br>From you knowledge does it look like VDPAU will have all the downsides of XvMC or is it better?<br><br>Mitchell is very excited to get his 8400 in the mail and start testing this.&nbsp; <br><br>Thanks!<br></div></div><br>
