i am, of course, fully aware that both xbmc and x264 are projects that are still in development. i'm just wondering, is the current version of xbmc capable of playing x264 video at bitrates of about 1.5 mbits/sec at full speed? does there need to be any kind of tweaking (ie: yes, but if you use ac3/mp3/vorbis/aac/whatever, it's too much for the processor) to work out?
the reason i'm asking is i remember trying to play an x264 clip on an earlier version of xbmc and i remember that it was atrocious what i got out of it (this was like an early/mid 2005 release, possibly late 2004, can't remember precisely). do newer versions have any problems? i plan to try with my own x264 clip, but i'm just looking for other people's experiences too.
