[mythtv-users] Slightly OT -- Video converter recommendation.

[Robert Denier]

Does anyone know of a very good device that takes

2 Composite
1 S-video
1 VGA

and outputs 1 VGA.

This needs to do a high quality conversion to VGA and could possibly
cost as much as a couple hundred dollars top.  I've got a couple cheap
ones that do something similar, but quality is pretty important here.

Secondly does anyone have recommendations for ~14 inch LCD screens that
take a VGA signal and run on 12 volts.  They should be as small as
possible which means they likely should have no speakers and not have a
large amount of plastic around the screen.

The application is for a tour bus system I'm working on improving.

Actually heres a thought.  I wonder if you can control a VCR through
myth.  That way I could possibly integrate a myth based control system
into the entire thing.  That approach may be overkill though.  The only
use for the time delay that comes to mind is to rewind the live
recording of the exterior camera.  Still its a thought.  A somewhat
compelling one at that, especially if they eventually did integrate a
mobile satellite tv system like was discussed.
