For real? I'm running 700mhz celron xbox's as frontends, decoding
702x480 mpeg2 or mpeg4 is no problem, how much harder is HDTV decoding?
I didnt think it was that much worse than 702x480 mpeg2!
I also transcode to 480x480 mpeg4, without any trouble durring playback,
cpu usage on the xbox is pretty low, detailed below
