That's strange. In another part of the hauppauge site (http://www.hauppauge.com/pages/products/data_pvr350.html) - "The encoded MPEG-2 video is sent over the PCI bus, where it is stored on the PCs hard disk (for pause and record) and simultaneously decoded in software for display on the PC screen (in all modes). When playing recorded video onto an external TV monitor, the on-board hardware MPEG-2 video decoder is used." Which implies that the MPEG decoder is only used for TV-out, while VGA out uses software decoding. That's a contradiction to the passage you quoted. I wonder which version is correct. __________________________________ Yahoo!
