<div>Sort of short description:</div>
<div>Motion JPEG is a video codec where each video field is separately compressed into a JPEG image. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>As long as this is done by the hardware there is no performance issue, the issues you may have are e.g.:</div>
<div>- the size is larger than MPEG</div>
<div>- direct burning to dvd is not possible (needs to be re-encoded to MPEG)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>MPEG-2 (1994) is the designation for a group of coding standards for digital audio and video, agreed upon by MPEG (Moving Pictures Experts Group). An MPEG-2 video bitstream is made up of a series of data frames encoding pictures

<div>For MythTv I have no idea how good such an MJPEG card is supported, probably it will be used to encode to the nuv format if the device is supported by video4linux.</div>
