In reference to hardware encoding cards and dvb-t cards
From what i have gathered so far a video codec with DXVA will off load some the mpeg decoding to the GPU, and Media Portal needs a card with Directx 9 card to run well.
An fx5200 is what people keep saying is the lowest supported card for dx9, but it doesnt support dxva, (ironically an mx440 card will support dxva but its only a directx 7 card) so which codec are people using with this card to get a smooth playback
also could someone with more knowledge possibly do a sort explanation or comparison for the wiki about all the different video codecs for media portal, on my install after i installed the tv cards i had about 8 video filter thingys, waht a mine field
