Xbox linux

The scaling is done by the gfx hardware in any case, no? You will have to check if the X server for the Xbox (nvidia chipset?) supports Xv, in which case it is probably implemented in hardware.

I think it would probably be better to use the built in dvd player over linux. In linux they have to work around the tv encoder chip where as the built in dvd player is meant to work with it. XBMC has some filters in it so that might be something you want to try.

Your probably better to use MythTV on the Xbox. Ready packaged distributions are:

and

Although the gentoox one seems to be under much more development. I don't think the Myth integration with a backend server has been completed on the Gentoox one but it's apparently coming real soon.
