as i can see on the spec details the LML1011 (the only on that make MPEG 
in hw) works at lower resolution (and only MPEG1). I'm searching for a 
realtime MPEG2 solution because i need a smaller stream compared to 
MJPEG and a good video quality.

I have some Pinnacle DC10+ ...but the bandwidth needed is too high.
