You can get it at as > an mini-PCIE card at eBay for 22 $ [3]. I'd recommend the BCM70015, which is the better part. It works as a decoder only, making YUV 4:2:2 frames available, which must then be blitted to whatever output framebuffer setup you have, over the pci express bus. The API seems very straightforward, much simpler that VDPAU, thus one could get a HW accelerated H.264 setup without X11. -- -Tor _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
