[linux-dvb] Re: DivX on DVB with MPlayer - new list!

Hi,

Hey, I accept you all are happy, but move this thread to mplayer-dvb list!
I think many people here aren't interested in this. Or am I wrong?

last answer here:

It's great. Same good quality as on my DH G400 :)

But divx needs postprocessing. Picture is blocky (divx fault, not dvb).
The only prob, if we want to use postprocessing, then we need full
decoding, we can't use (faster) transcoding. It means very fast cpu,
>=600mhz celeron2 or athlon.
(but you know, celeron2 is very cheap nowdays...  cel2-800 is about 40$ here)

Everything is possible, but it must be done by VDR author. It's C++ code,
and I don't speak that ugly language... (and I don't know VDR design/details)
