I'm working with PlasmaJohn on the ivtv project (http://ivtv.sf.net - drivers for the iTVC15 compression chips - aka hauppage pvr 250/350 series cards), and we're getting to the point in development where we need to start coding in controls for the MPG encoding part of the driver. Since there aren't really any other mpg2 encoders for v4l2 (or linux for that matter), I thought i would seek the advice of the list: Should we A) Program everything up using private controls and leave it at that B) Request lots of additions to the spec, and wait for the v4l gurus to hash out a standard C) something else. Thanks! -tmk __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Platinum - Watch CBS' NCAA March Madness, live on your desktop! http://platinum.yahoo.com
