Hello, I need an MPEG2 encoder board supported by linux, and I was thinking about getting an MPEX board: http://linuxtv.org/mpeg2/mpex.xml
However, the above cited web page is a little bit scary: " The driver is in an early stage. TS output works but no setting of encoding parameters like bitrate or GOP-size...". Is the web page just outdated, or is the driver still not mature enough? I dowloaded the driver (mpex.tar.gz), and it seems to be pretty old (23-Apr-2003... Almost 1 year old). Is this the latest version? I see that it seems to be the V4L2 saa7134 driver; is the MPEX board supported by recent snapshots from http://linux.bytesex.org/v4l2 ? I am wondering if someone has an MPEX board, and if he is able to set the encoding parameters (CBR vs VBR, bitrate, GOP size). MPEG2 TS would be fine (no need for PS). Also, how is the quality of the encoded streams (compared for example to a KFIR)? If the support for MPEX is still not mature enough, any suggestion for a good quality MPEG2 encoder supported by linux (no binary drivers)? Thanks, Luca -- _____________________________________________________________________________ Copy this in your signature, if you think it is important: N O W A R ! ! !
