[vdr] Re: using VGA / YUV output from vdr

It should just do that as 1280*720*32/8/1024/1024 = 3,516 Mb. And if overlay
layer takes another one (where VDR menu is shown possibly?) it doubles the
memory requirement.

Directfb drivers are mostly finished on Matrox chips so at the moment it is
preferred one. One thing to notice is that MPEG-2 decompression is done on
software and it requires some CPU power as well. I used Duron 800 on my
tests and it worked just fine.

Does your G200 have an DVI connector?
