I'm thinking to buy a EPIA SP (when it's be available) to work with VDR. My question is if VDR can use EPIA SP mpeg2 and mpeg4 accelerator that provides the CN400 chipset that comes with EPIA SP or I have to wait someone to develope a VDR plugins and linux drivers for CN400 chipset (I think it's inlcuded in 2.6 kernels).
You will need to wait until the unichrome project (sourceforge is your friend =:-D) has the mpeg4 stuff working. I don't think they have the docs from VIA yet.
I want to use a budget card and save some money but I don't want use softdevice because EPIA SP provide the CN400 with this functionality. I hope you understand my explanations. Sorry about my english.
I am using Epia M 10000 with VDR 1.3.21n vdr-xine 0.7.1 and a Skystar2. The mpeg2 acceleration uses between 10-15% CPU with either DVD or DVB-S mpeg2 streams. I don't have access to mpeg4 streams.
