I'm creating what i think are _standard_ SVCDs, that is, i'm observing the SVCD specifications exactly. I would expect that to be playable on every DVD player that knows the SVCD standard. Well, not. A friend of mine has a Panasonic DVD player that was able to play just fine some non-standard SVCDs

[Mjpeg-users] Re: PVR

2002-12-30 Thread Jeremy Mann
I still don't see what the big hype is about PVRs. First of all, you can't get the MPEG recorded material OFF the PVR without first capturing from its own outputs. So you still need a VCR or Hauppage or DC10+ to capture AGAIN what you captured on the PVR. Three wasted steps with what you could do
