Hi,
I build my HTPC especially for playing highdef content on my FullHD display. While playing a 720p h264 mkv file is no problem, 1080p does hardly work if the bitrate goes above ~8mbit. I tried it with XBMC, mplayer and vlc, nothing worked so far.
I did a little researche in the ubuntu forum and found this:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=629701
It describes how to disable the loopback (filter?) to gain a speedup in decoding h264. (Of course you will lose some quality)
I tried it with the mplayer and it works. Now, is there a possibility to use these parameters in xbmc for decoding 1080p h264 content? I added the parameters to the mplayer.conf file, but they did not have any effect.
My system:
Athon64 X2 5000
Abit AN-M2HD
Onboard Geforce 7050
