I'm bumping this thread, since it got a little sidetracked. I'll
also ask this, in the hopes that someone already has an answer...<br>
<br>
It certainly looks like I'm not going to get very far with the ATI
video in the Pundit-r. And I don't have the room to tack in
another PCI card, without removing a capture card.<br>
<br>
So, since my output is 720p native resolution *anyway*, what's the
preferred method to transcode a recorded 1080i stream to a 720p stream
(or less)? Perhaps that would allow me to at least kinda watch TV.<br>
<br>
