I'm no math genius, but wouldn't that be perfect for LiveTV then? I would think that would be "minimum requirements" per se to be able to do it since you've got a 1 min = 1 min "mapping". I guess you would theoretically be 2-3 minutes behind actual LiveTV to provide enough buffer to begin transcoding, but anyone who uses MythTV is already a good couple seconds (maybe 10-12?), what's an extra couple hundred seconds ;) -Chad /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
