I'm wondering - does the problem with timing and sync also important and for for vdpau nvidia cards ? or that project is important only for intel and ati ?

Now that I think about it, I believe this is what I was really asking about.. is it perhaps that good LCD TVs have so much smoothing/deinterlacing processing circuitry that the interlace timing is less of a problem when provided by VGA or HDMI? Progressive content is very difficult to mess up - precious few people could tell the difference between a movie varying between 24 / 25 frames/sec, where it only takes microseconds to cause the interlace fields to jump out of sync.

I think the problem is that you can't patch the binary driver. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
