You should load the via_v4l_drv before starting ivtv of any other driver.
You should get something like /dev/video0 video1 and video2 now. If you pass
the mplayer output through /dev/video0 now you should get it hardware
decoded ;) the blade5 site has some samples about passing the data through
the /dev/video0.

Hi Jelle,
I tried Gentoo. Didn't have much success and since it wasn't for me I had a
time constraint and gave up and installed RedHat. It's an M-6000 (as I think
I said) so I really need the hardware decoding. Do you know if mplayer is
using it yet? My friend is really keen to use DVDs through it, but I didn't
set up VIAxp for him.
