Quote:Hmm i never thought of that... so mpeg-2 playback from atsc would require more processing power than a mpeg-2 file created with say PVR150?Correct.
Quote:But I notice that for the ATI HDTV WOnder for instance, the mininum system requirement is a 1.3ghz processor whereas this thing requires 2.2ghz-2.8ghz or 1.8 centrino.I think the "2.2ghz-2.8ghz or 1.8 centrino" bit is more realistic for playback of any HDTV content. I cant imagine a 1.3GHz processor coping. By "minimum system requirement" they might have been referring to the CPU required to play standard definition ATSC content.
