3Ware. Pretty much the best supported hardware IDE or SATA raid card.
The new 9000 series cards are supposedly very fast (SATA only, though)

I never got any responses from this question. Does anyone have any
experiences with a similar setup? Any ideas if this could be made to work?

I mentioned this in a different email, but I'm not sure if people read it
all (it was a long message :) )
Anyway... I'm looking for a way to put in a DVD, and have Myth rip the
whole disk, just as it is, and make a single image file of it (Including
menus, and extras). I then want to be able to
Most of my research so far is leading me to getting a separate video card
(like an FX5200). If you want a super-small form factor with built-in,
your best bet is an nforce2 baord. Asus has one that has S-video, and
there are a few others as well.

Well,
I have figured out a little bit more. I had chosen all of the titles that
were listed in MythDVD to transcode. What I did not know is that the first
one is all of the titles concatenated into one .vob file. The remaining
titles were each title (there are multiple episodes of a certain TV

I have FC3 with mythtv installed via ATrpms. I've been playing with it,
and have a bunch of problems.
The main one right now, is Mythvideo does not appear to be working
properly. I put in a DVD that has multiple episodes of a TV show. I told
mythdvd to rip/transcode each of the 6 different title
>From reading the list, it seems that Nvidia cards are the best supported.
I am probably going to build at least one system with separate video card
and sound card. What would be a good choice for an nvidia card? Here are a
couple of choices I've seen:
GF4 MX 64MB with TV out - ~$40
GF FX 5200
So does anyone have an idea as to whether or not the PVR-500 is supported?
Is it too early to tell?

Is there a final answer on the usability of the PVR-350 TV out in general?
I've read that some people have issues with playing DVDs and other non-TV
files through it. Will it work well, or should I stick with looking for a
motherboard or video card with S-video out?

I am looking into the possibility of replacing the DVR from my cable
company with a MythTV setup.
I have Digital cable, so I would need to use a digital box, and control it
via an IR Blaster.
There are a couple questions I have about how this would work:
1. Is there a way for MythTV to detect

Would these have enough power to play uncompressed DVD files ?
