Re: [ivtv-devel] Status/Info

Well if we used YUV frames, it is as you say - mythtv
wouldn't take advantage of the encoder, but would
work. 

The idea is to support via user choice all the
different capture types.

The idea is to feed the MPG2 compressed frames into
mythtv's nuppelvideo wrapper to GIVE it mpeg2
capabilities... the .nuv format is just a wrapper like
.avi is.. right now it holds any of the avcodec
codecs, but putting mpeg2 in is legal.

even if it had mpeg2 capabilities, it'd have to do the
compression itself. This way it can just 'take our
word for it' that the data we stick in is mpg2 :)
