-- SNIP -- It sounds like the eHD is the most expensive solution in all areas; time, money, patching, etc. Whereas, vdpau seems to be at the other end of the spectrum being the least expensive, easiest, and so on.
Depends on how you look at it. I got mine for almost 1,5 years now and I've been able to see and hear HDTV without problems. Yes, the other plugins for mediaplayback seem to have problems with a vanilla VDR setup. But currently I use ReelVDR anyway and it works like a charm and without the problems I have with a vanilla VDR setup ;)
I've got 3 boxes running vdpau, all with different hardware and my experience has been the same with each setup.. It was a piece of cake and took almost no time to get going. Now I guess it's the guy who had a horrible experience turn to tell his story. ;)
I've been experimenting with VDPAU for a while. And yes, it's the next big thing when it comes to hardware accelerated playback. But since I need to put in an additional NVIDIA based videocard with Purevideo HD capabilities, I rather use my onboard intel for X.org and stick to my eHD until I have the money to get me a Atom based device with an ION chipset :)
