Kevin,

Am I correct when I say that this plug-in supports hardware decoding of
mpeg2 and vob files? It seems that others are trying to use this to plugin
to playback files other than mpeg2 (xvid, divx, etc.). These other file
types can only be played back through the osd for now, correct? Once YUV
decoding is stablized we will be able to take advantage of that to pipe
other video formats, once converted to YUV, through the PVR-350 without
having to use the osd.

Thanks for all your hard work on the plugin as well as driver development.
Also, thanks to Chris and others for their hard work on the driver as well.
All of your efforts are greatly appreciated.

Jim
