[mythtv-users] XvMC -> DXVA equivalence?

[Bob]

Every now and then on the list, this page gets posted
http://www.elecard.com/technology/dxva.shtml
in threads about the hardware acceleration capabilities of various GPUs, 
with the explanation that DXVA is the Ms version of XvMC but that due to 
poor support from manufacturers, you won't get some cards to work under 
linux.

But my nVidia Geforce 2 MX/MX400 while claiming to support DXVA with 
HWMC doesn't support XvMC, is this just nVidia turning it of in the 
drivers so I have to buy a new card, or does the MPEG acceleration under 
windows for this card use a different technology not available under linux?

Thanks.
