Wikipedia lists it as NVIDIA PureVideo HD. And if you look that up on wikipedia then it could be any of the GPUs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_PureVideo#Table_of_PureVideo_.28HD.29_GPUs Ideally you would like to have the 9400/9500 type GPU that can do both h264 and VC1. >From what I could read about Flash HD, is that the limitation seems to be from the Adobe plugin (on windows) that does not do hardware acceleration for h264 (http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=135840). But if we use mplayer or Xine to, then it should in theory it should be able to do Flash HD? What is your setup like? Do you use VDR as the main application or do you use something like XBMC with VDR or do you load a plugin on VDR to play flash type movies? Which output plugin do you guys use? I currently use xineliboutput 1.0.4. It does have its short comings but very good for Live TV. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
