At some point someone is going to make a cheap hardware encoder card that
does up to 1080p.. We just have to sit back and wait or a few of us are
going to have to learn how to get a computer engineering/circuit design
degree. One thing to think about is do you think whoever makes one will get
sued by the video industry/cable industry even if it doesn't have hdcp
support? hdcp strippers are fairly cheap so  that's not really an issue but
it seems like manufacturers are going out of their way *not* to make
something that can be used to bypass all the DRM garbage.
