I would have taken a bttv based one instead, but as there is none... The hardware has no mpeg encoder, so if by digitizer you mean raw high bitrate video frames then yes, and if mplayer is capable of supporting the v4l mmap interfaces then yes. (I've have zero experience of mplayer with raw video - not sure if this works). It feels like a reach, the design looks like a 'same-old' cx23885/7/8 which you could potentially use in tvtime - with some work. -- Steven Toth - Kernel Labs http://www.kernellabs.com +1.646.355.8490
