Or as a MythTV backend.
Dedicated backends don't need to be fast. Only people who feel they
need faster-than-real-time commercial detection or transcoding need fast
backend systems (and, in truth, even they don't--they only need fast
mythjobqueue systems, and can easily disable jobs on their slow backends).
My backend system can't even decode the video it records in real
time--let alone play it back using Xv or OpenGL or VDPAU.
You only need frontends that have 21st-century video output.
