I have an olimex AllwinnerA20 board. I have used the following guide to enable cedarx:
https://www.olimex.com/forum/index.php?topic=3560.0
This works fine, I can now watch big bugs bunny and the sintel trailer in 1080p.
Next, I have played the same mpeg2 SD recording by both mplayer and vdr-sxfe. vdr-sxfe uses a lot more CPU than mplayer. (about 70% vs 14% @600MHz)
When I look at the messages by vdr-sxfe, it see vdr-sxfe does use vdpau:
$ vdr-sxfe -f

How can I lower the PCU usage of vdr-sxfe?
I have seen a german guide to use cedarx and softhddevice, is this a better solution?
