Up to now, I'm using an el-cheapo dxr3 mpeg hardware video decoder, which does the decompression and handles the synchronization perfectly, of course. The video qualiy via s-video is really good, too. So I don't want to take a step back... The only drawback is, that non-mpeg video (ie. avi) has to be transcoded on the fly to mpeg, so you cannot integrate this stuff into a pvr with little cpu power (Athlon 700MHz is the lower limit is suppose). Additionally, using mplayer, sometimes the a/v sync is crap. xine does a better job, but fails on some other avis. > Regards, > Steve Davies CU Michael. _______________________________________________ Video4linux-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/video4linux-list
