as i can see on the spec details the LML1011 (the only on that make MPEG
in hw) works at lower resolution (and only MPEG1). I'm searching for a
realtime MPEG2 solution because i need a smaller stream compared to
MJPEG and a good video quality.
If you have plenty of time, I would recommend looking at
MJPEG boards. They are cheaper ($15 on ebay), have comparable
or better quality. It can take a couple of hours to convert
an MJPEG stream to MPEG stream.
I have some Pinnacle DC10+ ...but the bandwidth needed is too high.
Then there are only two solutions that I know of, for hardware MPEG2
on Linux.
First, the kfir board you obviously know about, which is just a dumb-buffer
board. If you want a television tuner, it is very simple to hack
a TV-Out onto a Hauppauge board (requires attaching one wire). Or just use
a VCR. I got the best results encoding video from the S-Video input.
Second, Linuxmedia Arts.

They offer a complete solution. I believe they are actually
a "broadcast" company. Their system specs include all the
HDTV resolutions. They don't have prices on their website,
but last I remember, their systems start around USD25k. I could
be completely wrong.
Have fun.
