Steve,
Which Matrox card did you buy? Also are you using this with Windows or Linux? I have been wanting to put together a Linux box to act as a digital video recorder, and would love to hear any

Steve,
Thanks. So does this pretty much wipe out your system,

Xeon, 384MB Ram,UltraSCSI LVD with two 9 GB Seagate drives.
The drives are plenty fast enough ( I have gotten transfer rates of 60+ MB/sec).

If you want a new PC-PVR getup on the cheap, look into a cheap athlon
mobo with built-in IDE RAID... use two 7200 RPM drives, striped, and I
believe you'll be happy as a clam. here's a recent deal you might like:

I like my All-In-Wonder 128 Rage Theater. It works in X but I can't get it to use
/dev/video so it won't capture anything. One of these days I'll have time to tackle
it and beat it into submission.
This is running on a dual 933, Asus MB, Promise IDE raid mirroring 7200 RPM IBM HD.

Progeny should be the installer for potato and woody. Anyone try

Most of the bottleneck is probably in the drives, but you'd have to
experiment.
You may need more space though. My mpeg2's were averaging 65mb/min

I have a 9 pin serial to cat5 cable that was used to connect to the

something else. Let me know if you're interested. I'm not sure about
