Think I can actually help you guys out.

My VAIO laptop contains a Gigapocket engine M. Hardware MPEG encoder.

more info is available here, although I can translate if need be.

If you need me to lspci or run some more bash commands to get some more
info, I'm happy to help out.

I also have the various files and drivers from Windows XP to hand if you
think it would help hacking this beast apart.
