Before, some 1080p video's gave me 100% CPU usage at busy parts and hickups, on a Core 2 Duo T9300 with an Nvidia 8600M-GT. With VDPAU, CPU usage went to a constant 0% and the 1080p was _allways_ smooth and sexy. Crazy! I'm now waiting patiently for the mplayer w/ VDPAU to become stable, a 180* Nvidia driver w/ VDPAU to become stable, and the newer Xorg releases.. Then it's indeed time to build a sexy lil media center or something.

Should handle it a lot better. @Jeremy,

Yah, I'd never considered building an HD media box until now.

@Rafael,

I'm hoping that I can eventually use this for normal DVD playback. Should handle it a lot better.

Makes me desire to build a media pc again. Thanks for the links there. Makes me desire to build a media pc again.

I've not been able to use xvmc with mplayer until now, despite it working with Xine. Well, I hope it works. I've not been able to use xvmc with mplayer until now, despite it working with Xine.
