Can you get docs on how it works out of the manufacturer? I think you'd be better off working with the Creative Labs card since they appear to be selling more DVD drive+decoder card combos than REALMagic is. Getting actual information out of CL is, of course, yet another exercise in dealing with Taiwan but, if you persevere, who knows? The only contact I have there is "Vincent Cheng Kok Hoong" , Senior Engineer in the AUDIO/VLSI products group and you're welcome to drop him a line. If you manage to get more response out of him than I did and feel you have enough technical information to proceed, I would be more than happy to send you one of their DVD kits courtesy of FreeBSD, Inc. Hell, if you get on a roll, we could do the same again for REALMagic, though I don't even have so much as a contact address over there so there's also that to consider if nobody else does either. :( - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
