Hello, i'm trying to get together a frontend and i'm looking for an inexpensive PCI card that has an onboard mpeg video decoder chip to decrease the cpu requirements. Its going to be hooked up to a tv so tv out would be a big help. I don't need a tv tuner so the pvr line is out. I searched but didn't find many suggestions aside from keeping away from ati cards. |

I'm guessing if you're just using it for SD television, not high def, you can use pretty much any cheapo Nvidia card with Svideo out on it. The Nvidia cards do a pretty good job of handling most of the load. |

The only PCI card I know of with hardware mpeg decoding and TV-out is the pvr-350. You can just not use the tuner part if you want. But if this is going to be a frontend for a backend you already have then why not use the tuner also? The backend can manage the tuner in the frontend just fine. |

The hollywood+ DVD decoder cards do this. They were also rebranded by Creative as the DXR3. |

yes, but I don't think the dxr3's work with myth at least I know in the early days some people were trying to use them and having quite a few problems. |

The Hauppauge MediaMVP is essentially an MPEG2 hardware decoder in a very small, absolutely silent box. It can play back SD MPEG2 recordings found on a MythTV backend, but is not (and really can't be) a full MythTV frontend. The output is just like you'd get from a PVR-350, though: http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php? ... LinuxHOWTO It's not a card, but it is a cheap (under $100 USD) way to go. |
