[AppleTV] Broadcom Crystal HD Hardware Decoder Mini-PCIe Card support for Apple TV? - deano72 - 2009-07-20 "davilla 1 day ago Hehe, if things go right with certain 3rd party devs, in a month or so, the AppleTV will be able to play VC1 1080p Blu-ray content with 100 percent hardware decode. Stay tuned." Will it allow even lowly 720p mkvs to work (with highish bitrate)? Cheers, Deano72 DaveGee Wrote:Yes, if you can somehow someway get the mini-pcie card (mentioned and linked to about a million times in this thread) to plug into a PC running Windows or Linux or maybe even OSX I'd venture to say then yes a future version of XBMC that supports the card will work. If you are asking about a specific way to GET the mini-pcie card to install in a desktop system... I'm not the person to ask.. sorry but I don't want to give you misleading information. - Z3rO - 2009-07-20 Awww I just set up my macmini with linux. Is this going to work with all Apple hardware or just with the ATV? And where did you read this? - deano72 - 2009-07-20 this was at appletvhacks - jarod71 - 2009-07-21 the day this is a reality for xbmc and appletv, I will be the first in line to buy apple tv - davilla - 2009-07-21 I know nothing - jarod71 - 2009-07-21 well, i hope nothing turns into something, cuz i have been itching for a appletv for a while, but would love to have 720p mkv capability... - live4ever - 2009-07-21 I only see VC-1 mentioned, this encoding was used in early HD-DVD and Blu-rays - all the newer releases seem to use h.264 now. - deano72 - 2009-09-02 Davilla any news on this? Lol hopefully you have an NDA with apple about some rumoured announcement of apple tv take 3 next week? Would be good if you (it) does. - deano72 - 2009-09-02 Sorry wrong forum I think. Mods please move if needed - ashlar - 2009-09-03 live4ever Wrote:I only see VC-1 mentioned, this encoding was used in early HD-DVD and Blu-rays - all the newer releases seem to use h.264 now.Not necessarily so. The split still sees many VC-1 titles (Watchmen, for example, being one of the most prominent recent releases). - davilla - 2009-09-03 davilla stuffs a sock in his mouth mpeg2/h.264/vc1 capable squeaks out. - deano72 - 2009-09-03 Lol. When when I plead thee? Take sock out a little more lol - dan1son - 2009-09-03 davilla Wrote:davilla stuffs a sock in his mouth mpeg2/h.264/vc1 capable squeaks out. Very interesting indeed. If only you could take that sock completely out and let lose on some specifics... - xeonicxpression - 2009-09-03 The stuff this community puts out is amazing. If this happens I'll have to go buy a couple more Apple Tv's. - mr.b - 2009-09-04 only native or also via XBMC? (good news either way it comes) Davilla?? squeak squeak...? |
