But the dinosaur is still the best choice to get the best picture quality on a PAL CRT TV !
But for anybody who wants to use a beamer these FF-cards are full pain with there stupid outputs. I (and many others) want DVI/HDMI/Display-Port.
FF will die in a years or two (months?) i guess and vdr has no well integrated outputs.
Is there anything in the VDR plugin API that would prevent a plugin from implementing a suitable output device?
Struggling with xineouput or xineplugin or softdevice is a real pain. Same for direct AC3 output on SPDIF.
Some other question:
Is there any movement to files >2GB for the recordings?
I will most likely change this when going to TS recording format. In doing so, I'd like to get rid of splitting recordings into separate files altogether. However, I think there might be people who still want this feature - any comments?
I won't go for full 64 bit file sizes, though, because I'd like the index records to still fit into 8 byte. Using 6 byte for the file index would result in 256 TB for a single recording (or 128 TB if we avoid 'unsigned'), which I guess should be large enough ;-)
