i suppose Hauppauge invented MPEG1/2 and they're the only place you'd
ever see it.

Really, it's out there for various reasons (DVD, VCD, SVCD, internet,
captures from peoples DV cams, etc) being able to watch them in MythTV
would be useful.

No, I'm not asking you to lift a finger to support it, I'm pointing out
that it is most certainly not specific to this card, and that there are
other reasons to support something other than a single format that I've
never heard of before.

I've got a DVD burner, I enjoy burning episodes of 'Friends' for my
girlfriend to watch, it requires MPEG2 video.
