Hmm, I'm having some problems with HD playback. I'm trying to play some H.264 1080p files and getting nonstop stutter. From looking around it appears as though there isn't any way to use hardware to decode the video, so it's putting it all off on my processor instead of the 8600GT with built in 264 decoding =/ I really don't want to switch to windows cause I've been enjoying playing with MythTV for the last 2 days.

Anyone know anything about how I could resolve this (outside of upgrading my processor)?

You have an old Athlon, with a 8600? Short of new software versions to take advantage of the driver acceleration a proc upgrade is your only option. I don't know if nvidia's linux drivers even provide h.264 acceleration either :0(

These are files you ripped correct? You could use a different codec such as divx.
