Um... no, DV is not MPEG. What you might be confusing is the fact that Myth now supports capturing MPEG-2 data over Firewire from digital set-top boxes. Since Firewire is the common transport for digital video cameras, it would be natural to assume that they also use an MPEG codec, but the fact is that they use DV, which is an entirely separate codec (with much less compression than MPEG, AFAIK). However, now that Myth supports a Firewire interface, it should be possible to write a video capture class that can capture DV. It's been mention before on either this or the -dev list as being a possibility, but I don't know if anyone's actually working on it. -JAC _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
