packetized elementry stream, basically just the video portion of the mpeg. Xine (and maybe mplayer) generate their own timestamps and such, so in order to even begin to attempt audio-sync, you need to break the video out and control the timestamping on your own. > 2.)

If you transcode it to a compatible format, you should be OK. that's a lot of disk-space though :) > MythTV has a working OSD on the 350 without XV too. > That's what sparked my interest. the OSD in myth was the first functionality we supported. XV is using the raw yuv decoding i think, vs the actual OSD engine on the pvr-350. i could be wrong though.. i didn't write that code :) -tmk ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ ivtv-devel mailing list ivtv-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ivtv-devel
