That would be great actually. Or just having another option period besides something dependent on libxine. The guy who suggested ffmpeg originally said it's vdpau implementation works much better for him, as I've heard others mention as well. My experience is that libxine-based (I've only used vdr-xine btw) works pretty well. However, it would still be nice to have more options available, especially for those who aren't as lucky as I with libxine. As is always the case though, user needs/wants depend on developers time, effort, and interest. I'm not sure what all it would take to write an output plugin for VDR that uses the ffmpeg vdpau library but maybe someone with the ability to do one will give it a shot. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
