So it seems. It's just so disappointing. I mean considering mp1e can encode mpeg1 realtime @ 640x480 on this hardware, I was just hoping for (a sight!) better than 2-4fps from mpeg2enc. It makes me seriously doubt the feasibility of MJPEG hardware encoding in favour of MPEG2 hardware encoding, such as the Hauppage WinPVR 250 thingie. Boy do I wish we North Americans were not so lame so as to suck up whatever proprietary systems the cable and satellite vendors throw at us. DVB would be soooooo nice. b. -- Brian J. Murrell
