Well I don't have a 350 but from what I can tell if your using something
called ivtv-fb the last two digits probably stand for framebuffer, so
your video would likely be sent to the the frame buffer on the card.
There shouldn't be any mpeg4- mpeg2 converstion or anything like that,
just the decoding into a rgb or yuv colorspace and the video being sent
to the card.  I think I vaguely remember you needing a little faster
machine than you might otherwise to handle mpeg4 through one of these.

Someone can correct me if I get anything wrong here...
