Are you using one of these newer nVidia cards with VDR/softdevice? Would you share your settings and experiences with it? Using the psuedo setting for OSD I would get blinking video. Using the "software" setting I would get OSD but the colors were wrong during DVD playback. Yes video textures through OpenGL is a wonderful idea, but what in VDR land supports that? Softdevice (according to another list member) doesn't support XvMC so I assume it falls back on overlay support for OSD. Thanks, CR.
