For an appropriate implementation of PVR, one need to save the data is
"PES", which is the output of the TS Demux, which means that the TS Demux
output can be routed out into the HDD in addition to the MPEG2 decoder. One
also need to worry about proper time stamping so that when the PES is
played back lip synch is proper.
If one is looking at the PVR in an analog environment, I assume that the
recording format is CCIR 656 (D1), which will quickly eat up hard disk
space. The compressed PES occupies about 2GB per hour of video/audio.

I'd be interested too.
Does this mean that PVR can be used only as TV card or as encoder too ?
I'd love to read some more info on that (maybe few sentences more for
begginer).
Thanks in advance,

Here you go....big Sourceforge patch on kfir.c
Note that you load bttv (not btaudio, kfir won't
load properly with btaudio loaded), try to
load kfir, which fails - a good thing, unload bttv and reload
it. And then load btaudio if you care.
If loading kfir fails immediately, it didn't
take - if it takes 2 seconds or so to fail,
it successfully initialized the kfir chip.
dmesg will give you output.
So, does the HAUPPAGE kfir based PVR card have linux support for
encoding to MPEG2 using the kfir chip finally? ~drooling~
Is there a website you can point me to to get this going?
Well, my main answer on all this is, "I don't know".
I would guess that if you initialize the Kfir chip correctly
with the PVR code that there will then be MPEG flying to
some card output - how to access that output, I still don't know
(I wasn't able to get a valid signal, but then I'm using an
NTSC card in PAL-land and a non-standard audio frequency,
which might skew my results).
The folks at pvr.sourceforge.net will hopefully have their
harddrives running again soon and continue work on this.
