I have a few questions on how playback works for the PVR-350, with a eye toward smoother fast-forward, rewind behavior in the future.

How does normal playback work.  Does MythTV simply send the mpeg (.nuv)
file unmodified to /dev/video16?

How does fast forward at the first setting (3x) work. Does it use the hardware ability to play MPEG at high speed. What about higher settings? Does it continue to use the hardware (can it even handle it) or does it only send it parts of the mpeg file. If the latter does it attempt to parse the MPEG file to pull out the I frames and only send it them or does it simply skip ahead in the MPEG file and fixed intervals and have it play back small segments?

What about playing in reverse?

Thanks in advance.
