Which card for 1080p 60fps H.264 playback?

Thank you, Carl Eugen

I'll have to make sure it is OK with the owner of the asset first, if he says ok then I will.

(Same trick I have to do to get Hauppauge HD PVR recordings to seek properly without re-encoding)

Any idea if there are (free) Linux tools that do similar 'fixing'?

Nope there isn't anything freely available. Proper video manipulation tools in linux are still a sore spot. Had to even code my own frame accurate editor for linux to cut the commercials out of my Hauppauge HD-PVR recordings. (and no I won't release that to the public as there would issues with licensing clashes).

Could you make a sample available so we can test both with and without "fixing"?

I don't have the camera yet, but I found samples in this thread:

I tested all five samples, it is definitely impossible to play them with vdpau (you need speed 0.6 - no joke! - or skipframes=nonref), and I'm much less convinced now that it will play with an i3-540: You may need a player that uses the multi-threaded version of FFmpeg's H264 decoder.

Note that afaict, the xacti 60fps files are much "easier" to decode (they need significantly less CPU time).
