Dear all,

First of all, thanks for bringing information and providing drivers.

I am a real GNU/Linux fan, but I lost a lot of time transcoding DV into 
mpeg-2. Now, it is time to invest into a hardware compression card!

I am looking for a DV capture card including an mpeg-2 codec supported by the 
Kernel 2.6. Here are my questions:

1) Stock kernel 2.6 support

Are there any mpeg-2 codec included in the stock 2.6.6 kernel? Or do we need 
to download the zoran drivers and compile them?

2) Pinnacle/Miro DC10+ (no firewire card)

From http://mjpeg.sourceforge.net/driver-zoran/cards.php, I understand that 
the Pinnacle/Miro DC10+ is well supported and that the DC30+ is not fully 
supported (interupt problem). Should I consider using a DC10+ or a DC30+?

On the web page, does "internal" mean that I can use the mpeg tools 
"internaly" (I will not be using the capture connectors) to transcode DV 
streams into mpeg-2?

3) Pinnacle Studio DV 9 (firewire)

In fact, I would rather choose a card including BOTH a firewire port and an 
mpeg-2 codec. Apparently, the Studio DV9 IEEE 1394 port is supported natively 
by the Kernel. Is the Studio DV 9 card mpeg-2 codec supported?

Sorry for asking questions which may sound "obvious", but I need some 
confirmation before buying a proper card. Thanks for your answer.

Best regards,
Jean-Michel
