I don't know how well it supports the hdpvr, but someone on the dev
list posted an ubuntu ppa repository with 0.21-fixes with the latest
and greatest ffmpeg merged in - which greatly improves support for
h264.

Looks legit to me, but use at your own risk and all...

Here is the ticket with the hdpvr patches (for comparison):
