If you want You can quite easily manage MPEG2 or AVI (with MPEG4) at 640x480 or (768x576 PAL) with a BT878 and ffmpeg (mencoder seems to be broken ATM) provided you have at least an AMD XP2000 or thereabouts for processing. You can get away with much less CPU (at the expense of disc space) using Nuppelvideo. JMG> MPEG-2, there in a PVR-250+ that should do what you want.

This should also do nicely and would leave the CPU free. -- C:>WIN | Directable Mirrors The computer obeys and wins. |A Better Way To Focus The Sun You lose and Bill collects. | licenses available - see: | http://www.sohara.org/
