[vlc] Re: Via EPIA with Via C3 processor

[Sigmund Augdal]

Vlc does not take advantage of mpeg acelleration hardware. It only uses the
cpu (with mmx/3dnow etc when available) and the video overlay features of
the graphics board (which pretty much suck on the epia iirc). The conclution
is that DVD quality MPEG2 is too heavy for vlc on most EPIA boards, possibly
with the exception of the fastest versions (900+ mhz)
