Hi Ralph, hi list
A hardware MPEG codec interests me a lot, but I need one that would be able
to encode from YUV frames (@ 25 fps) and to decode back to YUV at the same
rate. After looking with much interest at the linuxtv.org page, I assume
your board can't do that yet... Do you think it will be possible in later
releases of the board/driver ? You have any idea of when this will happen ?
Or does anybody know if this already exists under Linux ? Can someone give
me some links to more information in that area ?
Thanks all in advance !
Willy
