However, I definitely agree that taking the PS2 through the
encoder card
is a waste. Even if you get passthrough working in ivtv, you'll still
have to get it working in Myth (which doesn't have any support for
passthrough) or--more appropriately--in xawtv.
I just found a command for ivtv to enable low-overhead passthrough
directly on the card:

So if the projector has an svideo input, that's how you could do it,
just have the svideo
output of the pvr go to the projector, and use that passthrough
command pass the video.
But if you're running an svideo cable all the way up to the projector
anyway, why not just
plug the game console into that directly? I can only assume that you
don't have an svideo
input on the projector, or you would have just used that from the
get-go instead of an
svideo converter.
Exactly!!!! ;)
