If you want the highest quality deinterlacing on 1080i, a GT220 is required.

A GT610 is good enough, costs only the half and it is much easier to cool it quietly.

I've read the opposite -- that the GT610 struggle with 1080i highest deinterlacing. They aren't half the cost either from what I've seen. GT610's hover around $40, GT220 hover around $50-$60. The most I paid for a GT220 (or GT240 for that matter) is about $30, but I take advantage of MIR and sales.

I don't have to read about it, I own one. I know it better.

First, reading & doing research is a good thing so calm down. You claim you "know it better", but you don't even agree with other GT610 owners apparently.

And I am not the only one that thinks like this. It is common sense in the vdr-portal.de that the GT610 is good enough for temporal-spatial.

That's interesting. A whole lot of other users and a couple mplayer devs think otherwise. Also, common sense has nothing to do with anything. You haven't even shown an awareness that the GT610 comes with either 64bit and 128bit ram, which is known to make a difference. Or, that not all cards are created equal for that matter.

My opinion is that you don't seem to know as much as you think. That being said, I don't recommend the OP take anyone one persons word for it. Rather, he should do exactly as I have done which is read, read, read. In the end he'll likely have a good idea about what _exactly_ to buy in regards to specs for the best results. You can think the buck stops with what you say all you like but surely you're not silly enough to suggest people _shouldn't_ do their homework, and that reading is a waste.

Are there any VDR-compatible (I'm using e-tobi 1.7.29) HD test clips, available somewhere on the net or can s.o. provide one?

There are many places hosting HD test clips. You can look at:

http://www.highdefforum.com/high-definition-movies-video-clips/6537-official...

or just google "hd test clips".

Thanks for the fast feedback.

That site has a lot wma /w DRM protected files and a lot of link leading to 404 errors.

Also, you don't need to worry about a clip being "VDR-compatible", whatever that is supposed to mean.

My idea was to place a clip of vdr recording, i.e. the entires subdir with the extension .rec in my recordings. This allows to test the entire chain vdr->home network->playback device (here raspbmc).

The .ts file alone would also do.

Your system either has the capability to play HD content smoothly or it doesn't. VDR doesn't have anything to do with that. If you have a VDPAU-capable video card or igp, all progressive content will work. If you want the highest quality deinterlacing on 1080i, a GT220 is required.

You are right: ideally, I need two clips: progressive and interlaced. Let's see if I get one via this mailing list.
