Your request needs to be clarified. You want a 1080p hardware decoder but you don't say what it is decoding. Yes I know it is decoding video. But how is the video encoded? mpeg-2? divX? Xvid? some future format? Also there is basically zero chance of HDCP ever being supported by Linux. The whole point of HDCP is that the hardware and software are a proprietary (closed) system. Linux on the other hand is based on opensource software. The two just can't mix. It would be like dogs and cats living together.

</a><br><br>AFAIK MicRacer can't do 1080p only 1080i over PCI-E and has no HDCP<br>output, or do you mean MicHognose? Anyway, Micronas doesn't build retail<br>cards, somebody else has to implement their design.<br>
OTOH, Linux drivers won't be a problem.<br><br>Marcus<br><br>--<br>/--------------------------------------------------------------------\<br>| Dr. Marcus O.C. Metzler | |<br>|
