I'm looking into building a linux vcr (i will probably use it also as a server/router/desktop).
the software right now is not the issue, the hardware is. the hardware should be: 1. small pc, size of a Set-Top-Box ( = 'memir' ) 2. very quiet. so i can sleep with it working in the same room. 3. input tuner 4. video out 5. remote control (not too expensive, available in tel-aviv area) important: all must be supported by linux.
the problem is that the PCs i found were not small enough, not quiet enough, and if they were small, than i had no place of connecting video in, out, 2 ETH (router function) etc.
1. is video-in via usb good qulity enough ?
2. is video-in via usb2 supported good enough by linux ?
3. any good dvd creation programs. (the problem is not the burner program, but the dvd files structure, mpeg2 encoding, menu editing etc. prefered - command line programs)
4. is usb remote control hardware supported by linux
any insights will be appriciated
cheers, erez.
