Todd Bailey:
I have currently made kind of a solution towards this approach by using my old sigma designs xcard as an extra video output. If you are not familiar with the xcard, it is a dedicated hardware mpeg2 decoder card which has an awesome output quality, as good or probably better than my VGA->scartRGB solution i am currently using together with my CRT tv.

I have a problem however, the other tv i use for watching the xcard is too old and cannot receive scart-signals, even though it has a scart input! :shock:

However, the xcard can only put out video and what i get find on the mp forums mp doesn't support xcard and probably won't in the future either, so i use tvedia on the xcard and mp on my graphics adapter.

I don't know if this might be a solution for you but it's just a suggestion

I agree with you that a computer, although faster (and more stable) without additional software, should run whatever the user want's it to run.

I am still very keen on this idea and if anyone else is interested please pm me.. I think MP could kick even more butt if the core is fed a little vitamins for responsiveness (and probably diet pills regarding to RAM ) :wink:

Btw so that no one misunderstands me; i really LOVE MP, i use it daily and have used it for over 5 months. Wouldn't change it for anything
