I haven't played with tv-out on my PVR-350 for a while, so this
statement piqued my curiosity. What player are you using? Does
interlaced video really look correct using Xv on the PVR-350? At least
with MPlayer, I remain skeptical, since it seems to me there will
definitely be vsync issues.
I've only tested mythtv. Since the driver now supports xv, I personally
do not care anymore about mplayer, since I use my card for a mythbox,
and with xv, I can use the internal video player for everything, and no
longer have to use mplayer for nonmpeg2 content.
I thought this sounded great until I tried it =)
Turns out that while the internal player can play xvid, it doesn't cope
very well with video length and fast-forwarding. At least not for the xvid
I tried (self-ripped Stargate episode). Fast-forwarding almost always
results in jumps to around where you already are, gives the classic
missing-iframe blockiness effect and causes the video length to flip out.
I haven't tried playing transcoded material yet though. I suspect it will
work much better though, since the internal player was designed for
mpeg4/rtjpeg recordings/transcodings after all... :)
