I bought a PVR-350 a couple years back with the hopes that the video out support would improve, because it's one of the few cards that would properly handle interlaced output. The video out on the 350 is workable if all you want to do is output captured material. But as a general use output (i.e. freevo gui) in combination with generic material (random AVIs, dvd rips, etc) it is rather problematic. > The sound and video are captured in a mpeg stream and played back with > mplayer or xine. BTW I was confused at first. The 350 has an mpeg2 decoder, so you can actually just dump a captured mpeg directly to /dev/video32 (or video16, I forget) and have it play back. Of course this way you can't exactly pause/seek. mplayer had some kludgy support for doing this in the form of mpegpes vo, or some derivatives thereof (ivtv output). I haven't tried this recently, but last year it was not very good. Jason. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
