Dear all ATI users,
i've installed the ATI wrapper (xvba-video) for VIA XvMC and all necessary libs for via hardware acceleration (libva1, libva1-dbf, libva-dev).
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-desktop-74/amd-hd-series-graphics-guide-optimizing-video-playback-for-mythtv-mplayer-and-others-786335/
But i think it is not working in a way i like to have it :-(
I've changed my rendering setting to use VIA XvMC as decoder with xvmc-blit but if i try to start watching TV the CPU goes up to 100%.
I've found this in the var/log/mythtv/
