Thanks for the answer. The first thing I realized when I learned how to use search on the mailing list was that this question is very common so I was already preparing to shot myself expecting the hear the advice to learn to use search. :) It's a shame. Ok, back to the point... The problem here is that I have a little unconventional hardware: it is a small form factor Intel D945GCLF2D mini-ITX Motherboard + integrated Intel Atom 330 2core 1.6Ghz. I have doubts about it's ability to encode 4 channels of D1, besides Intel advertises Atom's performance as video encoder: http://www.intel.com/design/intarch/applnots/DSS_Appnote_r5.pdf. I really don't want to setup another device specifically for DVR, especially with large form factor. Installing cheap capture device w/o h/w compression sounds like a great option, but I'd really like to be sure that Atom 330 is capable enough for this. Is there any expertise on this?
