Hardware decoding through VA-API is working on some Intel chipsets and CPUs, but I haven't seen any usable GPU deinterlacing implementations besides those in Nvidia's VDPAU. AMD's XvBA is closed and still too buggy to be used in practice. I haven't heard much about S3/VIA. Broadcom CrystalHD has open-source drivers, but it also doesn't deinterlace anything. This page list all VA-API compatible hardware solutions: http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/vaapi So, basically it's either Intel or Broadcom CrystalHD with open-source drivers or Nvidia with closed ones. Only Nvidia and CrystalHD hardware decoding is usable on Atom-based motherboards. For the Intel way, you'd need to step up to something based on GM45 or Core i3 and forget about fancy 1080i deinterlacing and other postprocessing. -- Niko _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
