Dodd" To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Subject: Creative DVD Decoder (CT1765/LS220) Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Anyone have one of these things? The Linux guys at 'opensource.creative.com' have a DXR2 driver but the CT1765/LS220 board looks somewhat nicer. There is a really nasty MSWORD databook on the chip and a copy of the Windows driver floating around as a reference. What sort of interface should a driver for one of these boards present to the system? Should we just be able to blast an MPEG video stream at /dev/mpeg0 and have it work? How should the video/audio controls be presented? I suspect that one could abuse the device into pretending to be a sound card. -- | Matthew N.
