What about for a front-end on this (mythtv, Freevo)? Currently I'm going to do recording on a different machine (till I can = get a 350PVR) and just wanna build out the watching portion with a menuing = system on BSD. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Tim Aslat Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2004 6:39 PM To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Question for PVR In the immortal words of "Mark Beaver" <beaverm@corp.earthlink.net>... > What software is the most reliable for recording and playing back (not > necessarily the same) and the front end. Depends on your hardware. If you have a Hauppauge PVR 250/350 and John Wehle's driver port installed, then you can just use "dd" from the raw device and have a very clean MPEG2 stream. On the other hand, if you have a capture card based on the BrookTree chipsets, then you can use mencoder/mplayer or fxtv for viewing/capture and playback. > I've still considering my options for the project, and want to base my > info off of that. My personal recommendation is go for the Hauppauge cards, I have a PVR 350 and it just works beautifully. Also, try searching the list archives. This has been discussed quite a bit over the past year or so.
