I'd like to roll my own Tivo/Replay. I'd be happy to use some hardware to accomplish this end. The Iomega BUZ seem kinda cool, but they don't seem to sell it anymore: >Iomega has decided it will not ship any additional units of the Buz[tm] >Multimedia Producer for the PC to its distribution channels. However, >Iomega will continue to support the product - if you buy one you can >continue to count on Iomega's outstanding customer support. Iomega >will, of course, honor all warranties until they expire. ... The LML33 looks promising, but linuxmedialabs.com's website doesn't respond. I also found a company that makes an USB based MPEG encoder, and soon a firewire version, which uses the iComp chip (same as in Tivo). Sadly no Linux driver. So what are people doing these days for a solution? I'm not worried about disk space, so MJPEG is a fine solution. Can I reliably (with adequate audio-sync) capture with say a bt878 card, dumping the data to disk and encode later? Quality wise, 352x240 would be fine for my application. I'm even thinking that using my camcorder and dumping the DV data via firewire would be ok. -- Brian Litzinger <brian@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
