But I have a rather underpowered VDR machine with a full-featured DVB-S card, so I really need to use the hardware MPEG decoder.
Mplayer can play MPEG files using the hardware MPEG decoder without re-encoding.
but it's NOT an mpeg file he wants to play! so we're back to where we started from. ;-)
Right, it's M-JPEG format. No conversion should be necessary to play his files, just installing the proper codec and using the mplayer plugin should be fine. There is FFmpeg MJPEG decoder. Here are some packages to explore:
SO conversion IS needed ! It needs to be transcoded on the fly to mpeg1 at least to be usable in his setup - which is impossible because the vdr is not big enough. But the solution got allready proposed. Any mpeg1/2 + genindex should be fine
