Hi

There are patches to use the card with the vdr. I only know german speaking resources:

http://www.vdr-developer.org/wiki/index.php/HDTV_eHD This is a little bit outdated but gives an idea how it works.

This page contains mostly build instructions.

Is the card able to switch between 480i s-video output and 720p HDMI output easily, ie. is it possible to just start up my projector and re- route the signal from my plain old TV into the projectors HDMI input without restarting VDR with different parameters? Dual output signals is something I'm looking for so this might be a deal maker for me.

are the hardware deinterlacing working with this card ?

There's a Bob deinterlacer for upscaling SDTV to 576p/720p/1080i. I don't know if there is a plan for a more sophisticated algorithm.

is there any postprocessing inside the card ?

Except the usual filtering for the arbitrary up/downscaling, I'm not aware of any additional processing.

does the 1080p mode and upscaling from 720i till 1080i work properly ?

The 1080p mode currently crashes the display controller, but that seems to be a firmware problem. I don't know a 720i-mode, but upscaling 1280x720 AVIs to 1080i works.
