Hi, I tried the patch yesterday on my desktop computer: -
2.13Ghz Intel Core 2 CPU 2Gb RAM Nvidia 6200LE PCI-E graphics card 400Gb IDE (not SATA) hard disk Skystar 2 DVB-S Latest Ubuntu with xorg Latest NVIDIA Drivers Hooked up DVI -> HDMI on a Pioneer 43" plasma TV at 720p (native resolution of the panel = 1024x768) and using 32bpp on the desktop. vdr-1.5.9 with the earlier h264 patch (I didn't see the seperated patch for 1.5.10 yesterday) xine-lib-cvs The only test channel I could try it on at the moment is the BBC HD service on Astra 2 which is FTA, DVB-S and mpeg4 (MBAFF). Used tvtime Greedy2Frame deinterlacer in xine. The picture was very good, but there was dropped frames that xine reported and the stuttered on occassion and then ran very quickly to catch up. Playing around with the settings in xine (setting threads to 2 etc) didn't really make much difference. However, for the first time I've spent playing with this I was impressed with the picture quality out of VDR. Top reported that the CPU was ~40% idle so I don't know why I saw dropped frames... One other thing I noticed though was when using XVMC (-V xxmc) to view normal MPEG2 channels the VDR OSD looked terrible (very blockly looking) and playing with the settings in the xine plugin did not make it better. Any recommendations on improving this? When using MPEG4 (i.e. software accel) the OSD was fine. Any thoughts on this anyone and/or Reinhard?
