[mythtvnz] H264 and AAC

Dear List

It seemed in discussion with a colleague some weeks ago that we could do with a card which has hardware decoding and Linux drivers.  Could not find one.

He has today pointed this out to me:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/BroadCom-BCM970010-BCM970012NB-Mini-PCI-e-HD-Decoder_W0QQitemZ150288766941QQihZ005QQcategoryZ3762QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262

Seems to involve a PCIe mini card - with PCIe Desktop adapter option.

Not sure about Linux drivers though



Also we note:

This time - yes, it is said to have Linux drivers!

Of course there are as many questions as potential answers.  How much is required to massage it into a MythTV box, interconnectivity etc.


Do these have any relevance for people looking to do NZ HD under mythtv?

Kind regards
David
