I'm in the throws of buying an EPIA SP8000EG or SP13000 with the mpeg2/4 accelerator. Has anyone had experience with these and 16:9 through x-windows?
I have the older M10000 CLE266 and picture quality on VGA out is good. I am at 1440x900. MPEG2 is hardware decompressed and MPEG4 is accelerated on the SP series.
I see some banding and pixelization when using the hw mpeg2 decoding on a cle266. Do you see similar things?
This is with dvb-t material, so it might be due to low bitrate transmissions, but my suspicion is that the scaler is using only 8bit precision.
