[TriLUG] linux video and an OT question

[Tanner Lovelace]

Does that card support hardware mpeg2 encoding?  I can't quite tell from 
the description.  I did notice, though, it says:

- All-software HDTV decoder 

so I think you'd better have a _fast_ processor if you want to watch
hdtv with it.

Cheers,
Tanner

Is this correct?  If so, what is the best card to purchase for use with Linux to create a PVR?  I have not yet created a PVR but I feel that I might like to at some point so I figured I'd better pick one up while I am employed.
