Even if it was you would have several problems. First that card is made to capture uncompressed HD video from HDMI for video editing. HD video editing prefer uncompressed formats because they trade space for speed of processing the video. An uncompressed 720p or 1080i/p video from this card will range from 600-800 GB/hr. The 2nd problem, as others have mentioned, is HDCP encryption. Capture cards that have hdmi inputs are required to not capture anything with encryption.</div> </blockquote><div><br>I think that this might solve that problem ... the *MUX*HD* shown here<br><br><a href="http://www.curtpalme.com/MUX-HD.shtm">http://www.curtpalme.com/MUX-HD.shtm</a><br><br>I spoke with the vendor by email and they assured me that this unit would "fix" that pesky *H*D*C*P* issue.<br> <br>With that in mind, assuming that there is no *D*R*M* issue with capturing HDMI output, any other suggestions as to how to capture that? It looks as though the *MUX*HD* also has a DVI output which could be used for input to some sort of capture device. Any DVI input capture devices that you folks know will work with Linux?<br></div></div></div></blockquote></div><br><div>You'd rather spend $285 plus whatever DVI capture device that might exist with linux support (no idea if that does exist - if so, it's going to be expensive and if so will almost definitely not have mythtv support for it) instead of $220 for a device with good enough linux/mythtv support that everything is working quite well right now just to use HDMI instead of component? Why?</div></body></html>
