Cc: Luigi Rizzo , multimedia@freebsd.org Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-multimedia@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk If the card uses YUV 4:1:1 or YUV 4:2:2 the Phillips chip pair should be the somethng like 7911 and 7912, at least as far I remember it and it could also be the old pair, used as I described it in my earlier emails. I can look the stuff up, some friends of mine build their own card. They still build MPEG stuff now, for gas station monitoring for example. Ulf.
