Minor nit here... If you're using the 5200 for TV-Out, then I don't think that you can be using the PVR-250 for MPEG-2 decoding. On the other hand, the 250 is doing hardware encoding.
While it's true that some of the older PVR-250 cards do have a hardware decoder (mine does), I don't think that the ivtv driver can use it for anything. On the PVR-350, the hardware decoded MPEG-2 stream is pumped out to the TV-out chip, and thus the decoded MPEG-2 is not available in that way either. -- Joe --- "M.Barnabas Luntzel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Feb 9, 2005, at 6:24 PM, Ben Dash wrote: > > > Do both of those nVidia cards do the MPEG decoding > or > > is that still done by the CPU? > > the 5200 is just for tv out.
