Orange Pi - pi clone(ish) board GPU questions

Fri Jan 02, 2015 3:43 pm

Hey all,

Happy new year.

So I'm looking at this [url=http://%20www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6424267366.html?orderId=65238842810583]Orange Pi board[/url]. It claims to be raspbian compatible. My question is on the GPU and if it would be able to run omxtx or not for ripping and (hardware driven) encoding video DVDs.

Cheers

Compatible just means they copied the look and the name so that people are fooled into buying it. There are lots of good pi-inspired SBCs, but I'd avoid the ones which claim compatibility because they're lying.

Enough said, I guess.
