I have a MediaMVP, that I wish to use with the mvpmc project
(<a href="http://mvpmc.sourceforge.net/">http://mvpmc.sourceforge.net/</a>) as a front end to MythTV.
Unfortunately, my video capture card does not have an MPEG-2 encoder on
it (hey, it was $20 and it works fine, otherwise). I see that
mythbackend can encode the stream to RTjpeg or MPEG-4 in real time (on
a Sempron 2200), but the mvpmc project only supports MPEG-1 and MPEG-2
(since the MediaMVP has a 300 MHz PPC with an MPEG-2 decoder attached).<br>
<br>
So, my question is: why can't I encode to an MPEG-2 format
(compatible with mvpmc) straight off of my capture card? Would
that be as simple as adding another codec option? Does this
require patching? Is it feasible? If so, where is a good
place to start?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
