[mythtv-users] [slightly OT] HDTV cpu

[Daniel Agar]

What resolution are you downscaling to? I have a few SD frontends (800x600
nvidia svideo out) and it would make life much easier if I could at least
playback HD recordings on all frontends.
Whats your cpu usage like with the 3200? Are you using xvmc?

Thanks
