MPlayer's "DVB support" is a transcoder which will transform > the input format into MPEG-2. I've been told by Christian Schuld <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> that you *can* use the Nova card with MPlayer like this: ----- schnipp To use mplayer mit the Nova- cards you have to transform the transport- stream which /dev/ost/dvr delivers (after apropriate tuning with the zap utilites) with ts2ps (from mplex tools) to program- stream. e.g. cat /dev/ost/dvr | ts2ps <vpid> <apid> | mplayer - May be you have to use an external buffering tool like "bfr" or mplayer's built-in cache functionality ( mplayer -cache 2048 ) to get a smooth play. ----- schnapp I haven't been able to check this because I have no Nova card but I will add this (together with some more information about MPlayer) to the FAQ on the weekend.
