I'm considering to upgrade my current p3 system to a hdmi/optical SPDIF and enough expansion slots to fill in dvb-s devices. I found plenty of motherboards with combinations of 2x or 3x pci and 3x pci-express. I can simply convert those pci-e to pci with an adapter so that is not a problem. The unkown factor for me is, should I consider a motherboard where the Core i3 (System on Chip) has got a built in hdmi interface? Or would I be better off with nvidia's vdpau, of consider to go ati/amd and what power usage are we looking at? Should I then rely on vaapi support again? The end result should be a machine that is good for vdr as a frontend and a backend, that is fast enough to be able to do transcoding on the fly for those mobile devices that don't accept mpeg2 natively. (I have been doing some transcoding using vlc + mediatomb on a core2 duo 1.8GHz). I'm trying to get rid of the core2 duo and the p3 (currently hosting the dvb-s cards) I don't see intel atom machines with at least 5+ expansion slots. You suggestions are most welcome. Thanks, Theunis _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
