Better software decoder?
I was wondering if anyone out there is using a better software decoder then the one built into sage. I don't have the option of updating my video card to a nvidia so the pure decoders are out of the question.
Is there anything out there that emphasizes EFFICIENCY over video quality? Its not the best client PC but i would like to be able to use the menus when watching a show. Thanks

I tried the pure decoder with my server's GeforceFX5200 (which only has "partial" support of hardware decoding) and the system was extremely sluggish. The one I am trying to find a better software decoder for is way crappier then my server.
Worth a shot though. Maybe it just hated my 5200 Corykim: Thanks, Ill give that one a shot. Seems like you can really tone it down if need be. EDIT: To my utter surprise (and a complete reformatting / reinstallation) the pure decoders now actually WORK on my system, and even though my 5200 is only "partially supported", cpu dropped to 13-15% during decoding Thanks.
