I believe the stream is MPEG2, I am actually no certain. The card is well
supported in the current CVS release of MythTV, but bear in mind the
drivers you need (ivtv.sf.net) are very alpha but they also work well with
myth as of this writing.
Myth plays back the files just fine, and they can be played without any
conversion on a windows system with the latest media player - even thought
it complains of a missing codec, it proceeds to play the file (windows that
is).
