any news on that topic? it was very interesting to see that playback of dvds
on my xp2000 with kernel 2.6.3 and vdr 1.2.6 uses 40-60% cpu.

playback of dvds on my k6-400 was no problem at all ....

any ideas what goes wrong here? afaik while playing dvd the mpeg2 stream is
directly displayed by the dvb-s card. so there should be no need for high
cpu load...

thanks
