ah yeah, I have it backwards. decoding, encoding...my 250 does the encoding. sorry for the confusion.

Minor nit here...  If you're using the 5200 for
TV-Out, then I don't think that you can be using the
PVR-250 for MPEG-2 decoding.  On the other hand, the
250 is doing hardware encoding.

While it's true that some of the older PVR-250 cards
do have a hardware decoder (mine does), I don't think
that the ivtv driver can use it for anything.  On the
PVR-350, the hardware decoded MPEG-2 stream is pumped
out to the TV-out chip, and thus the decoded MPEG-2 is
not available in that way either.

Do both of those nVidia cards do the MPEG decoding
or
is that still done by the CPU?

the 5200 is just for tv out. I have a hauppauge PVR-250 to do the mpeg decoding. people seem to have some success with the PVR-350 which does both in (as well as mpeg decoding) and out...YMMV.


no problem with the nvidia fx 5200 here, too.
The nVidia GeForce 4 MX 440 is cheap, easy to
install, and works great.
