When looking to setup my second HTPC, I was looking at Sage and was trying to see if it needed a decoder. On that front it seems to assume a decoder comes with the Tuner card. From prior experiences (using a Hauppauge 150MCE) I needed to get the nVidia decoder for MCE.
Now I was also looking at getting TheaterTek, which seems to come with modified versions of the nVidia decoders.
I then came across FFDSHOW which seems to be a open source decoder, with special post processing functionality. Now I am assuming it will not work with MCE, but will it work with Sage? Also, any thoughts on the post processing piece?
Now I believe I will be getting TheaterTek and playing with CQC, so (since I will have a decoder already) part of this is understanding where the open source decoder can be used, and will the post processing pieces be something I want to look at further (which might be limited by the above).
Any experience out there with this?
