I programmed a digisuite LE a year ago, doing a roulette game for broadcast television. It was painful programming under vc++ & some directshow like api. Most of these systems would benefit tremendously of running under linux. The problem is most likely that matrox doesn't want to reveal anything about the low level details of these cards. They do have some wonderful pieces of mpeg2 / DVI encoders & decoders. And believe me, doing an update at vsync is not a problem with these babies. ;) -- -Torgeir _______________________________________________ Video4linux-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/video4linux-list
