Sorry, I didn't really answer your question before, but I haven't tried the local mode.
I'd use remote mode, even on local machine. It's nice to be able to leave VDR running behind the scenes without the the overhead of decoding when I'm not watching.
I should think that you want to use remote mode anyway; the Xine client being on a machine that *is* powerful enough to play your DivX.
The client itself is powerful enough for DivX replay, but not when a DXR3 is used as the output device. Decoding DivX and desktop playback works fine (it is a 667 P3), but simultaneously encoding into MPEG for the DXR3 is too much for the processor. Anyway, I tried to start VDR to use remote xineliboutput and the player on the same machine, but VDR also immediately exited. Don't have the logs now, but I can try on Monday.
