<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Console" size=2>I'd like to know what kind of hardware
set-up is needed in order to get the software encoder (the NuppelVideoRecorder)
to be used by MythTV.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Console" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Console" size=2>I currently have a Hauppage PVR-350, and
I appear to be forced to accept the hardware-encoded MPEG-2 produced by the
card. I would prefer to receive raw video, audio, VBI, etc. from the card and
have that input to MythTV and encoded by the real-time JPEG encoder.

<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Console" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Console" size=2>I am willing to swap out my tuner card
for another card, if that is the simplest and/or cheapest solution. However, I
am also willing to do a bit of mucking with the code if it's not too much
trouble, to get the current card to do what I want with MythTV.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Console" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Console" size=2>Ultimately, my goal is to be able to
access the raw video, audio and closed-caption data from within the MythTV code
during a recording. If you know how to do this, and see that I am barking up the
wrong tree, let me know... but it seems fairly straightforward to do so, so long
as the software encoder is being used during recording.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Console" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Console" size=2>Yet another alternative that I would be
happy about, is to receive audio/closed-caption data during a post-processing
pass similar to what is done for the commercial skip code. I see how to get the
raw video from the commercial skip code, but not how to get audio or
closed-caption data.</FONT></DIV></FONT></DIV>
