Correct.
Easiest would be , if there would be a framebuffer you just could use for it, shouldn't it ?
There is a memory mapped framebuffer visible over PCI, we just have to write a driver for it. Then also X should be possible (@800*600, 32bit RGBA), but until then, consider this as a "maybe" and not a promised feature. The vdr-osd is currently done by message passing to a drawing daemon on the card itself.
But for playing back "unsupported" formats, recoding to MPEG1 should be do-able, I haven't tried it. Also note that some "unsupported" or not mentioned formats may actually be supported by the chip and we just currently have no SW support for that (container parsing, etc.). There are people working on the "universal media player part". But that's not my area, I can't comment on other supported formats than h.264 and MPEG2 (SD/HD) for now.
Yes the same i think - looks like NG FF card ;) - so who is starting to buy one ? ;)
For the "full" it's missing the tuner. But given the TV programming nowadays, it's not a real drawback ;-)
