[mythtv-users] vdpau accelerated mythcommflag and/or ffmpeg?

[Will Dormann]

Hi all,

I've got an Atom 330 ION system with an HD-PVR set up as a combined
frontend/backend and it's quite slick.   Except mythcommflag and ffmpeg
(for mytharchive) are really slow!   The former gets about 9fps and the
latter is 4fps.

Is this because the h264 decoding is done by the CPU rather than the GPU?

After some brief googling, it appears that ffmpeg uses vdpau for display
only and not for decoding/transcoding.  Assuming they're not doing so
already, is it possible to have mythcommflag and/or ffmpeg use vdpau
h264 decoding?


Thanks!
