Hi Ken:
What a coincidence, I'm trying to do the same thing right now only with a plug-in card with a Via VT6306 chip.
Where did you get test-mpeg2?
What distro are you using?
I will be trying both mythbuntu 9.04 on a desktop and mythdora10.21 on a Thinkpad.
I rented/borrowed a extra DCH3200 so I have two units to test.
Please feel free to email me off-list if you want to and if I can manage to make this work
I intend to offer my notes to the group.
This is not what you would call a "piece of cake"
Thanks,
   Bert
