Does anyone have one of these cards ? The online shop says delivery time is 1-3 business days so it seems they are actually available for purchase now. I'm thinking about getting one of these but was hoping that someone could answer a few questions about these cards:
- Can I use this card in my own vdr box (with code from the Reelbox vdr tree) or will it only work in a Reelbox ? - How mature is the software for these cards (stability/image quality/features) ?
Thank You, Jeremy
I have an ordered and paid this card 2 month ago, still waiting. So don't believe the online shop.
Because I don't have the card, i could just tell you what I read about it. There is a vdr-plugin to using the card. It should work on a "normal" vdr. The software is under development: Reel has a svn for it. It will not work out of the box, but I think it should be possible to build a stable vdr without a reel box.

The shop is bit too optimistic...
The production is currently ramping up, a few single cards are already sent to "integration" volunteers in the vdr forum. AFAIK the metal slot mounting is still missing.

Thanks for the information. So it sounds like this card should work in my box but I think I will wait until I can get some feedback from people who are actually using the card. I've been waiting for such a card for awhile and this is the only hardware based HD MPEG2/MPEG4 decoder card I've seen. I've never really been happy with the quality of software decoders or cards with MPEG offload (not full decode) so I hope this card lives up to my expectations :-)

Приветствую, Jeremy

why do you think, that h.264 software decoders has poor quality, than hardware decoders?
Can this HD PCI card play the progressive video from hdd ?

My biggest problems in the past have been A/V sync problems, "tearing" and slow channel change times. I've had similar problem with software based MPEG-2 decoders but after a lot of tweaking I was able to get nice image quality but still had occasional A/V sync problem and channel change times were still slow. I've never (or very rarely) had these problems with hardware based MPEG-2 decoders.

would you say the link to this plugin
See svn://reelbox.org/testing/src for the sources from Reel:
utils/hdshm is the hd-card driver vdr-1.4 is the reel-patched VDR vdr-plugins/reelbox is the hdcard-output-plugin vdr-plugins/erfplayer is a fileplayer-plugin for the hdcard vdr-plugin/filebrowser is a filebrowser-plugin to show/replay files on the hdcard
