>From an article found at linuxvideo.org: : I did find one consumer true MPEG encoder; the Hauppage WinTV PVR card : (http://www.cyberport.com/~tangent/video/reviews/pvr.html). It's a BT878 : with a Kfir encoder chip on board. Sounds good? It's not. It's a Kfir1 : chip, not the old Kfir chip that the Linux driver supports. There's a guy : working on a driver (http://pvr.sourceforge.net) but he doesn't seemed to : have gotten very far. There seems to be a new maintainer, though. Latest update was on November 14 at http://sourceforge.net/projects/pvr/ Hmm. A friend of mine is contemplating buying such a card; I might be able to borrow it from him, *if* I can get proper specs of that kfir01 chip. - Nemosoft _______________________________________________ Video4linux-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/video4linux-list
