xxmc is the correct way - I have a desktop launcher shell script to
start xine with options -V xxmc -fg
vdr:/tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes

If I want to watch a DVD I use the button on the controller to switch
from VDR to DVD.

This depends on Xorg version, kernel version... We had a long thread
with Xavier and Thomas trying to track down the causes last year.

My hand compiled openchrome driver was getting 10-15% but with out of
the box as supplied by Fedora Core 6 I am seeing around 25% too. Which
isn't bad because evolution and spamassassin don't make the video
stutter when running in the background.

Live TV (DVB-S) will run between 20-35%

Cheers

Tony
