yaVdr and Intel HD graphic card

  • Hi.

    I have in mind to buy an intel nuc mini pc, but it has intel HD graphics.

    I know that yaVdr is designed to work with nvidia graphic cards, but I am not able to find a mini pc similar to nuc with an nvidia card (nowadays I have Xtreamer Ultra).

    Someone can tell me if yaVdr will work fine in this pc?. I have translated some threads with google translato, but translation is not very clear and it seems that there are changes to do that are not inmediate for not advanced users.

    Regards.

    As far as I know it does not work quite as well as with nvida cards, but seems to be good enough for some users. If you want to use Intel graphic cards without extra changes, you could give http://www.minidvblinux.de/ or http://www.easy-vdr.de/forum/index.php?topic=18103.0 a try (they are looking for users with Intel IGPs).

    and it seems that there are changes to do that are not inmediate for not advanced users.

    The description in [0.6.0] Anleitung Installation auf NUC5 does not look too hard - but I do not own the necessary hardware to be able to try it.

  • Thanks for your answer.

    As I am used to run YaVdr, I would rather to try first with it. When I buy the nuc, I hope I can follow the steps shown at [0.6.0] Anleitung Installation auf NUC5. I will check the evolution of the thread.

    I will wait to buy it till next version of ubuntu was released. I also want to try the pc whith it.
