Somewhat related question is, is there some solution to have HD-VDR without X, other than eHD ?
Not that I'm aware of but by no means have I researched that question in depth. ;)
All this hullaballoo with vdpau/X/xine etc.. is somehow stupid if all you want is HD-STB.
I'm not sure why you think vdpau is stupid if you want an HD stb. Using vdpau gives you the ability to have HD on systems that normally wouldn't have a chance at all, and it provides this at a very lost cost. The cheapest I've paid so far is $20 ($30-$10 MIR) for an 8400GS pci-e. So for a mere $30 on average, your old system that couldn't handle HD now can. Stupid is the last thing I would describe that as.
