Re: [mythtv-users] nVidia Personal Cinema
I think this is the sort of card I need as I hope to build an SFF. There seem to be TV cards built into MX440 cards and into FX5200 cards. I think the former are more expensive, but don't really understand the difference and which is enough for a computer that will only be used for a PVR & office work. I think that the Asus 9520 HT looks interesting, but don't understand why they put some smart cooling technology in the video-suite version but not in the home theatre (http://uk.asus.com/products/vga/v9520vs/overview.htm). After all the latter is bound to be used in the living room and hence be sound sensitive. Simon On Friday 24 Dec 2004 02:32, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Nope, I mean encoding.

Re: [mythtv-users] nVidia Personal Cinema
Nope, I mean encoding. The nvidia personal cinema is nvidia's answer to ati's all in wonder series. Hasn't been around long (compared to the aiw) AND isn't really plastered all over the place in ads and such. But compared to the AIW series, the Personal Cinemas have pretty good Linux support. Lots more info can be found at http://rivatv.sf.net. For those with a shuttle or other sff pc, having a Personal Cinema is a good idea in conjunction with a pci tv capture card. This way, you can have at least 2 tuners. -bborie > I believe you mean de-coding > > I'm not familar with the nvidia personal cinema.

Re: [mythtv-users] nVidia Personal Cinema

Re: [mythtv-users] nVidia Personal Cinema
Hi, I don't believe that the MX440 versions do hardware encoding of any sort. That was the primary reason i didn't purchase one. I think the newer chips, like the FX series, DOES have MPEG2 hardware encoding. -bborie Bill Sutton wrote: Hello List. Does the nVidia Personal Cinema (apparently a nVIDIA GeForce4 MX440-8X chipset) provide any hardware encoding? Will it work well for recording in a somewhat low horsepower PC (900 Mhz AMD Atholon)?
