What format did you transcode to? AFAIK, the PVR-350 only

plays MPEG2 streams.

The 350 can only provide hardware assistance on mpeg2 streams, but with
the right codec or enough cpu power, you can play whatever the hell you
want out the 350. It just isn't optimized for anything but mpeg2.

What do you mean by "provide hardware assisttance"? Will this require
a sizeable portion of the CPU?<br>

My M10000 w/350 couldn't play back Myth recordings transcoded to mpeg4
worth beans, but using -vo x11 in mplayer, I could play xvid and ffmpeg
mpeg4 rips just fine.

I just don't bother transcoding anything. Hard drive space is cheap,
and there isn't much on TV I'd ever want to keep around for very long
after watching it once (but ymmv there).</blockquote>
My wife and I record alot of shows during the fall and spring and watch
most recorded in the winter and summer and eventhough disk space is
cheep I can only install 2 harddrives for recording storage. I would
really like to compresss the files in a format that we can watch
through the tv out on the pvr-350. Will transcoding to mpeg2 save a
sizeable amount of space?<br>
<br>
Jarod, thanks for the MythTV-FC2 installation procedures.<br>
