Hi Klaus,

sorry for writing as pm first, I didn't check, whether the return 
address is set correctly.

There would of course nothing be wrong with it. But the question is: 
what would be right with it? It would _not_ be supported by vdr yet. It 
wouldn't help you, using your present card and you put emphasis on doing 
that. And wouldn't even make vdr cheaper, because most box-pc or things 
like that, which are interesting for use as vdr, already have tv-out on 
the mainboard. So the only reason (technically, not counting the current 
support by software) not to use the tv-out of a current graphic-card 
could be problems in producing correct interlaced output. I don't know, 
whether those exist.

And the performance of the pc would be even less, because you don't have 
to decode _and_ mpeg-recode div-x or similar videos.
