I also switched from dxr3 to softdevice with a matrox G450 about 10 months ago. For me the G450 has been a lot more stable. With the dxr3 I had crashes, OSD failures etc etc. I was upgrading my vdr dxr3plugin version every week or so hoping things would improve. Reading the lists it would seem that the dxr3 solution has improved: perhaps I jumped ship just a bit early... Even if this is so I am still glad I converted. Regardless, IMHO softplay makes softdevice a superior solution. > Marko > > _______________________________________________ > vdr mailing list > vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx > http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
