Hi,
I have an onboard nvidia 8200 graphics card, using vdr-1.7.15 connecting with xine and using xv , not vdpau At the moment out of habit I am using the nvidia proprietary driver, but should I use the open source instead? Which one is likely to yield better performance in my setup?
Cheers, Art
Even though vdpau is open source, nvidia's support for it is propriety. To get any kind of acceleration would require the closed source drivers.
