Alas. Unless something changes soon (either on the Intel-driver side,
as Nicolas Will keeps promising, or in Myth's own
semi-forked-with-regular-merges ffmpeg tree), based on your experience
a current Mac mini does not appear to be the ideal h.264 1080i-capable
frontend I'd hoped for in the Hauppauge HD-DVR era..

-- 
Frontend:		P4 3.0GHz, 1.5TB software RAID 5 array
