Ok, I'll send you some information about the BUZ.

I think the LML33, and DC10 are still produced.

I think that only the bridge used in the BUZ caused that much problems.
Becaue they produced only a very smal number of that chips. And the
firms had to tell the manufactory how much bridges they would need the
whole product lifetime.

The mjpegtools work on 64 Bit Alpha tested by Bob McElrath and I've
tested them on a IBM Power4 CPU. The only problem I encountered on the
PowerIV was a mpeg2enc chrash with when encoding with -M 2 or higer. But
that should be solved now.
