AFAIK at the moment you'd be correct. I don't doubt that sooner or later
there'll be some kind of hack for the 350 to do AVI/DVD output, but
right now you're correct. Recorded material only.

Most of the PVR cards are record only, so I presume you're referring to
the 350. See above answer.

Yep, they work like a champ. And you can use XvMC to get most of the
advantage of the 350 (hardware assisted playback), but also extend that
out to AVI and DVD playback (requires changing the playback command
line).
