I don't know about the VGA framebuffer side, but there are two options for the em8300. First option is encoding to mpeg as you mention. Second option is writing directly to the video encoder framebuffer on the dxr3. I don't know if this can be done fast enough, however, as there is only a single port that all the data must be sent via. I believe it was designed for taking snapshots of the video, not full framerate grabbing/displaying. Maybe it'll work. -- Rick ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://dxr3.sourceforge.net http://rsub.sourceforge.net I think the slogan of the fansubbers puts it best: "Cheaper than crack, and lots more fun." _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
