I just think we're asking too much to the poor spu unit of the dxr3 and there's not much that can be done about it :-( (maybe the new microcode but I cannot tell yet). [*] a dvd uses "subpictures" for the menus and subtitles. A dvd player normally has a hardware (or firmware) subpicture unit (spu) to decode and show subpictures. A full featured dvb card doesn't have one, but it has an osd unit, so vdr decodes subpictures in software to show them through the osd. OTOH a dxr3 doesn't have an osd unit but it has an spu that the plugin (ab)uses to provide an osd. So, with a dxr3 this is the processing that goes on for dvd subpictures: dvd subpicture -> software decoder -> osd -> spu encoder -> dxr3 spu which is rather silly. What the patch does is transform that into: dvd subpicture -> dxr3 spu Bye -- - Yo tambi?n quiero una Europa libre de Patentes de Software - - I want a Software Patents Free Europe too!
