mythtv and vdpau is truely amazing

Finally have the new nano itx motherboard running.  Ubuntu Jaunty with the latest nvidia .run installer.  Playing a 720p hd source from our qam source.  Right now cpu usage for mythfrontend is only about 19 -20%.  system load is right around .44.  Amazing that an atom based motherboard could handle playback like this.  I am going to try windows 7 media center and xbox media center on it and see how those perform also.  So far I am sold.  I may invest in another one of these.
