With regards to dvb cards that include mpeg4 hardware decoders... There aren't many even in development and the ones that do actually (if they do) make it to production will be very expensive. At the cost of the card you can build a pc capable of the same and a lot more for your money. In conversations I've had with dvb devs, the demand for such a card just isn't big enough to bring the price down to something the average user will pay. For this reason I don't think it's wise to continue treating VDR in a way that assumes most users dusted off the old piece of crap pc in their closet and put a full-featured card in it. There is no way to ignore the fact that home entertainment is moving to htpc-based setups, especially now that hardware is cheap enough that you can build a powerful pc for little expense. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
