[vdr] Re: optimization for slow cpu ?

[Guido Fiala <gfiala@s.netic.de>]

Are there not some options in xine and other players to choose
lower quality color-conversion and disable all postprocessing etc.?

Please see man pages & doc... i had it working at a P2-450, cpu-load is up to 
70% for vdr-streams using mplayer but up to 100% for DVD-material.
