So I tried it out with various OTA recorded streams. Some streams decode fine with the vdpau decoder, while others crash hard. I mean hard as in I have to power cycle the computer to recover. My guess is that it has something to do with 1080i, vs 720p or whatever. Disabling all mpeg2 acceleration fixes it. I thought the Pitcairn GPUs supported UVD 3 and mpeg2 hardware decode?
So I guess I'm left with mpeg4 and vc-1 acceleration. Are these not available with VAAPI and fglrx?
