Well I asked about this on JustLinux.com. It was them that pointed out the Hollywood range of cards too me. But I guess they got it wrong too.
Is there such a thing as a hardware decoder? It would be nice to be able to have something that decoded my DVDs in just the same way my stand alone dvd player did. I tried seaching Google on this but all I could find were people talking about the Hollywod cards and another similar (seemingly discontinued) Creative card. It seem a kind of obvious thing that there should be a card like this, but maybe there is a good reason there isn't? Q PS Thanks for stopping me from throwing good money away for nothing very useful. :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dirk Meyer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, August 01, 2003 9:54 AM Subject: [Freevo-users] Re: Legal issues > "Q" wrote: > > I'm thinking on buying a hardware dvd decoder card anyway, such as the > > Hollywood+ range of cards. > > The Hollywood+ is no hardware dvd decoder, it's an hardware mpeg2 > decoder.
