[mythtv-users] Fedora 4 PVR-350 Output problem

[Curtis White]

Besides defining the device in your xorg.conf file, make sure you
don't have transcoding turned on. That one got me and took me a while
to figure out. If you have transcoding on it will not be able to play
the files out to the PVR350 TV output because it can only decode mpeg2
files.
