Hello All!
I have recently moved my netbook over to Ubuntu 10.04 (I know its old but it works - dont ask) and finally have everything up and running. Everything sings beautifully. Especially after I get my beloved XBMC back up and running(vlc cant tolerate 720p on my netbook nor can any other player I tried). We have been around since the original xbox (still actually have and use it in my office ) and love the hell out of everything you guys do and try to donate when we can . Anywho - here is my problem: I can play my 720p just beautifully even the higher bit rates but the moment we move over to a 1080p file even low bit rates it is terribly slow choppy etc etc etc though it does play no major chugging like freezing. This is NOT XBMC's fault. Its a netbook (gigabyte T1028).
Specs:
Eden 11.0 under Ubuntu 'Lucid' 10.04
5200RPM Spinner
Dual thread atom 1.33ghz
1gb Ram
integrated intel GMA 9xx
No errors or output files needed to be honest - Its a combination of codec/hardware limits.
Please dont throw things at me. I know its woefully underpowered for true 1080p. BUT BUT BUT I am able to play 1080p under windows using this method (windows media player classic and CoreAVC -- I would always pop out of XBMC under windows 7 to watch these, kinda annoying but hey):

I have scoured the internet for the equivalent steps/tweaks to make this happen under XBMC but no joy - the only things I can find are terribly antiquated and for much older versions and mostly VERY vague(circa 2009). Some mention inloop deblocking hope that helps (please see link above for the steps they used as you will likely understand it better and its XBMC equivalent). The main thing is trans/re-encoding my whole library would take both my and your lifetime and then I would sacrifice my lovely 1080p from home or be forced to double up my storage or at best dual boot into window JUST to watch a vid -- see the lame factor there?
Linux is my new holiness and XBMC part of my religion - How in the world can I make this happen under Eden(11.0) or even Frodo? Almighty gurus please judge me worthy and bless unto me the required steps to bring the light of 1080p playback everywhere with me, Amen.
