[QUOTE="jawbroken, post: 33694, member: 14372"] Software encoding cards were dropped because they are such a huge hassle. Not many people, as far as I know, have ever been able to get them working acceptably, at least not with very good processors, etc. This level of hardware is not suited for a htpc because it produces more heat. The developers decided it was best to stop supporting software cards because when they did support software cards a lot of people would complain about their experience (can't watch TV while recording so no timeshifting, dropped frames, audio sync problems). I guess now they just get a lot of people complaining about dropping software cards support instead :). I hear that they are removing VMR7 support now, which will enrage more people I would guess. But really, to get acceptable htpc performance, VMR9 and a hardware card are required. [/QUOTE]
