Yes, it has limitations but given the low power consumption it's still impressive. The ION runs fine with advanced deinterlacer for 576i and temporal for 1080i. A 9500GT can do advanced on 1080i but for me it's not worth the extra heat and space. I have the computer on the back of my TV. http://www.minhembio.com/magho /Magnus
Are you sure your ION can play 1080i with temporal? What is the source? I have tried a lot of HD-channels on Thor 0.8W without success and I have to use bob deinterlace filter or else the hardware drops frames.

I've had a problem with seeminly under powered video card using a 8400gs (g98) and little by little am finding out what settings are needed:
gui.dropped_frames_warning:0
# vdpau: HD deinterlace method # { bob half temporal half temporal_spatial temporal temporal_spatial }, default: 3 #video.output.vdpau_deinterlace_method:temporal
# vdpau: Try to recreate progressive frames from pulldown material # bool, default: 1 video.output.vdpau_enable_inverse_telecine:0
# vdpau: disable deinterlacing when progressive_frame flag is set # bool, default: 0 video.output.vdpau_honor_progressive:1
# vdpau: disable advanced deinterlacers chroma filter # bool, default: 0 video.output.vdpau_skip_chroma_deinterlace:1
# number of audio buffers # numeric, default: 230 engine.buffers.audio_num_buffers:500
# number of video buffers # numeric, default: 500 engine.buffers.video_num_buffers:1000
# default number of video frames # numeric, default: 15 engine.buffers.video_num_frames:22
Turning off the droped frame warnings stops it from poping up the box with it floods droped frames. Don't need a popup telling you you are droping frames when you have freeze frame video

I use an 8400gs in two boxes and I don't get freezing video. However, my settings are different. I didn't have to change the values for the following, they work by default:
video.output.vdpau_enable_inverse_telecine:1 video.output.vdpau_honor_progressive:0 video.output.vdpau_skip_chroma_deinterlace:0 engine.buffers.audio_num_buffers:230 engine.buffers.video_num_buffers:500

do you mean 1080i video ? which deinterlaicer are you using ?

1080i yes. It's falling back to temporal iirc.
Some stations do 1080i others do 720p. The 1080i seem to be worse but then I turn of deint for progressive video which should free up some of the video card.

Well, "video.output.vdpau_enable_inverse_telecine:1" is the one that stoped the problem with it freezing and then runing fast forward. The buffer settings help reduce droped frames as does the chroma setting, though it's not a big impact and I see no change in video quality. Having it deint chroma doesn't seem to have any effect other then eat a few more gpu cycles.
video.output.vdpau_honor_progressive:1 simply turns off deint if you have a progressive video. No need to deint was isn't. I do know that as per other recomendations I had the video buffers up around 10000 and audio down at 5 for awhile and I had more droped frames with high buffer setting. I could only use bob and the inverse_telecine setting is only for spectral.

In XBMC it works fine with Eurosport HD recordings on Thor at least. Ubuntu 9.04 32bit on the diskless ION, recordings on nfs. /Magnus H
