Softdevice has reached a really good level these times. Whoever would like to test a simple and efficient alternative to hardware decoding (FF / Dxr3) should test the latest softdevice release 0.1.1. Really impressive : fast response, stable, etc. Softdevice uses one of the 4 output methods : frame-buffer, DirectFB, vidix, Xv. Choose the one that best suits you (frame-buffer is slow an 16 bits only, DirectFB uses video acceleration + alpha, vidix needs root access for specific VGA cards, Xv needs an X server running) > I'm just curious because I might want to move *away* > from the FF card in the future because of ARM crashes, > low bandwidth and high price. Test softdevice if you have at least 800Mhz-1Ghz ;-) That's not an easy task, but the result is rewarding. -- NH
