[mythtv-users] Re: Half Height Video Capture Cards

[Jason Livingston]

In Japan there are several PCI Low Profile cards sold based on various
TV chipsets, such as bttv, saa7134, cx88, etc. There are also (at
least) two low profile cards which feature the iTVC16 chip (same as
WinTV-250), both made by Yuan and sold by various OEMs here. The older
card is supported by a patch to ivtv and seems to work, but is getting
hard to find here. The newer one is very interesting because its cheap
(about $130) and it also features extra chips for 3D Y/C seperation,
3/D noise reduction, and ghost reduction (but no remote or tv-out). But
the driver hackers don't have a working patch just yet (they say maybe
in a week or two). I sure hope they get it working. :)

For video & tv-out, there are many PCI and AGP low-profile cards
available based on the standard chipsets (GF4MX, Radeon9xxx series,
etc.)

Hi, 
I wanted to use a PVR 350 for my MythTV box, however it will not fit in
my Antec Minute case. I would love to use my Antec case (I will use the
PVR 350 for another project if necessary) - What is the best video
capture (hardware compression etc...) and TV-out solution for my half
height case? 

Thanks in advance,
