Server?
Ah !
but.....
For
a Home Video SERVER, you dont need TV Out.
The
playback machines would be the ones to use TV Out :-)
I
have an ATI Rage Fury in my Jukebox PC, and an All In Wonder in my desktop
PC
but as a PR200 with 4 Gig hard drive its not upto the job of recording
video.
I
am
going to head down this route myself later in the year.

Looked at doing the same thing myself, my research at my budget
levels have led me to look at two cards.
The ATI all in wonder Radeon (circa £220), the Hauppauge
PVR,
ATI AIW:
has composite\SVHS TV out
pause TV
SVHS in
Composite IN
TV
Tuner
SW
encoding
Hauppauge PVR:
pause TV
SVHS in
Composite IN
TV
Tuner
HW
MPEG2 encoding
Radio Tuner
Remote Control
The Hauppauge looks to suit the best
BUT
no TV out! aaarrrrggghhhhh....
also check out the WDM driver
capability, as most software requires WDM drivers to function, limited
support under VFW
I currently have a Hauppauge theatre
something or other, plus a ATI AIW 128 although both capture fine with
there
native software neither does a watchable capture using the current PVR
software I have tried.
My feeling is this is early days for
this type of software and should be looked at again in 3-6
months...
Paul
Have seen a few movies in DiVx format lately
as well as using some of the PVR software I'm considering building some
kind of TiVo type server.
Anyone got any experience of
this?
Are there any video cards that do MPEG2
compression in hardware as well as having good quality TV tuner and TV
out.
Thanks
