S-Video IN our OUT?  If IN, what's the use unless that means they are
putting a mpeg encoder chip onboard which would make this quite a different
beast than the current card I believe.   If it was IN and we could get
support for the S-Video -> mpeg2 feature then that could stear a lot of
people away from the current analog hardware encoder cards since a lot of
people just run S-Video or composite into them.
