See: http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-3.html#ss3.1 - A P3-733 can encode using MPEG-4 at 480x480; cannot decode at the same time. - A P3-800 can encode with RTJPEG at 480x480 and watch it at the same time - A Dual-Celeron 450 can decode a 480x480 MPEG-4 file with ~30% CPU usage So, for Live TV watching with a software encoder, probably want a P3-800 or better. -- Nate Carlson <natecars at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.real-time.com | Fax : (952)943-8500 _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
