I recently saw the popcornhour and the HD demo on the popcorn wasn't what I expected. It felt like the early adopters of the first DVD players that came out. It was more jittery than a Blu-Ray disk on a PS3. So now I am wondering, what is the best silent/cheap client out there? That actually does 100% smooth playback like a normal DVD except at HD resolution/video bandwidth? Are there popcorn alternatives? Or is the best now to get a nvidia 9400/9500 to do video decode acceleration with a Core 2 Duo type processor of about 3GHz?
What are you opinion?

Hi. My opinion is that nvidia's ION platform with vdpau and XBMC gives the best result. The atom's cpu load is <10% playing 1080p h264 so forget the 3GHz core2 unless you want to play Flash HD movies or other non-vdpau formats. It's not very cheap yet but you can build a fanless one for €200. For example a http://www.cartft.com/catalog/il/1072 together with 2G ram and a pico-psu. /Magnus H
