FWIW, I've been using vdpau for HD htpc's for quite some time now and my experience has been great. I think this is the case for most people as well. However, xine-lib (especially vdpau) development seems to be dead at the moment. There are known bugs and as far as I can tell nobody is working on resolving them. You may want to look more into that before making your purchase. I have no experience using vaapi so I can't speak to that. I also have no comment about your transcoding requirement other then if whatever hardware you have works now, I can't see why something faster wouldn't be able to manage as well. My current systems are all low power Zotac ION boxes, and 'normal' pc's using GT220 video cards. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
