>Igor,
So you do not need the cx25840 module then?
If you do not need it then do not worry about commenting out the code I mentioned previously. (I do not have this card, but have worked previously with people who have it to get it supported out of the box).
The support for the mpeg encoder on the E800 is experimental and is currently not set up for this card.
Regards,Stephen.
