It's worth to check Wikipedia about various chipset generations: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia#Graphics_chipsets I have in my desktop computer a 7600GS (with a nasty small heatsink and fan), the passive cooled version (Asus, etc.) would be quite suitable for a HTPC. It has quite good 3D gaming performance as well. I wish nvidia released Linux support for MPEG-4 HW decoding for pure video chipsets (6xxx and 7xxx). > How do you enable the de-interlacer seppo? In xine + vdr plugin xine --no-splash --hide-gui --fullscreen -Dtvtime:method=use_vo_driver -V xxmc -A alsa vdr:/tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes or xine + xinelibout xine --no-splash --hide-gui --fullscreen -Dtvtime:method=use_vo_driver -V xxmc -A alsa "xvdr://127.0.0.1#nocache;demux:mpeg_block" In vdr-sxfe vdr-sxfe xvdr://192.168.1.4 --lirc --audio alsa --video xxmc --fullscreen --post tvtime:method=use_vo_driver But I have some problems with sxfe, the nvidia OSD color hack (video.device.xvmc_nvidia_color_fix:1) is not available. Also the playback is not smooth when OSD graphics is active. Perhaps the sudo+renice -18 trick from this mailing list today could help. > What version of xine-lib and X.Org do you use? At the moment fresh CVS, X.org 7.0 and latest (8774) nvidia binary drivers. BR, Seppo
