No, I know about the dxr3 - I'd been searching for xcard/linux drivers,
or something similar

A less compute-intensive codec is probably the way to go. You should
be able to save as high-bitrate MPEG-1 or MJPEG or any of a bunch of
other things
I was checking out old Tomshardware review on site

A mpeg decoder card called Realmagic xcard is a hardware based decoder which
will allow MPEG-2 and 4 decoding. I think this is
No Linux Drivers. Can't be used to convert files, only to display them.
Don't buy this card because Sigma Designs violated the GPL by stealing
code from the XVID project. I think they finally resolved the issue but
it took quite a bit of pressure from the XVID project.

I've heard some rumblings about it being supported by the VDR project -
but I've not been able to find anything concrete.
It's a shame, as it gives very good TV-out and would help out otherwise
slow machines - for a reasonable price.

No, I know about the dxr3 - I'd been searching for xcard/linux drivers,
or something similar on google and found a reference to vdr supporting
it.
It wouldn't suprise me if the post was thinging about the dxr3 but hey,
damned shame.
