in the config menu there is a check box for "hardware decode"
at the moment I haven't got a card which supports this , but looking to get one ...
so if I get a new graphics card which has an embedded MPEG2 decoder, and click the above check box, the video output will be directed to the S-video port and the mpg file will playback with hardware assistance - right?
but I don't want to do this. my new TV has VGA and HDMI inputs, what I want to do is drive the new telly via the VGA connector, AND use the hardware MPEG decoder on the new card - why should I PAL-encode it and use the new telly's analogue SCART connector? -
am I missing something? are graphics cards only designed to use hardware MPEG decode with S-video, or is this a GBPVR "constraint"
