This is exactly what I was hoping already existed. In my case, for
example, I have machine A with a TV Wonder card and machine B with a
g200 card. I want machine A to use MPEG4 for Live TV, and I want
machine B to use MJPEG for Live TV.
I really think this is all that would be needed. It would allow you to
make sure that every host didn't try to encode/decode more than it could
handle, while still keeping it simple and easy to maintain.
Unfortunately we don't have this setup yet, and I'm not near the c++
coder that would be required. I guess I'll just have to wait a while on
that second machine.
