I am building a Myth box. I have:
3Ghz Intel Prescott CPU
Intel D865PERL Motherboard (Integrated optical SPDIF, Hyperthreading)
Hauppauge PVR-350
2 200Gig SATA hard drives
512 M RAM
FX5200 GeForce Card
2 HD3000 cards (not installed yet).
Fedore Core 3, 2.6.10
My question is in regard to the hardware encoding / decoding capabilities of the PVR-350. Am I required to use the TV Out of the PVR-350 to enjoy the MPEG decoding capabilities of the card? Can the card encode and decode at the same time (live TV)?
I had problems with Myth getting video to initialize, and finally was able to get live TV to display. It was very choppy, stuttery, and ultimately just locked up. I am not using the TV out of the card, and am presently just using the PC monitor. I have a long ways to go on this, but I need to start with a better understanding of how the PVR350 works with the system.
Regards,
Redeye
