Anyways, a mini-itx setup woth a case that looks like a piece of video equipment would be more in cost. although I'm pretty sure your assessment on not having enough power ot encode video is wrong. I record from a ATI tv wonder VE with mp1e on a 500mhz P-III here and get good results.. (no it's not DVD quality at 8meg bitrate, but nither is any of the devices you can buy in the stores.
I don't think mp1e or mpeg1 can shake a stick at mpeg2. mpeg1 isn't even interlaced is it?
Metallic6086N from GCT allwell, dvr-250 from ebay for about $89.00, 256 meg
Does their chipset support mpeg2? From the website:
Color key, Chroma key, DirectDraw & Mpeg-1 playback.
of ram for $45.00 and a 120 gig drive for $98.00 , a CD burning drive is dirt at $30.00 or a DVD rom drive for $20.00(I still don't understand wanting to play DVD's on freevo)
I sold my dvd player to finance my Freevo habit. :)
If you stick with mpeg 1 or 2 files everything goes much easier. and you get the advantages of hardware playback built in the video cards.
I am not so sure the use of the decoder is so automatic... well, at least I hope it is.
