[mythtv-users] Transcoding issues

[Stewart]

I'm using the TV-out from the 350.   I built my system using Jarod 
Wilson's guide.   Is there an easy way to tell if XV is supported?

I have the following RPM's installed for ivtv...

ivtv-kmdl-2.6.12-1.1447_FC4-0.2.0-69_rc3k.rhfc4.at
ivtv-firmware-dec-2.02.023-4.at
ivtv-firmware-enc-2.04.024-4.at
perl-Video-ivtv-0.13-7.rhfc4.at
ivtvdev-0.10-2.rhfc4.at
ivtv-firmware-1.8a-4.at
ivtv-0.2.0-69_rc3k.rhfc4.at
