[linuxtv-softmpeg] Re: softmpeg on crtc2?

["Dylan D'silva" <admin@movingideasanimation.com>]

Hey all,
I spent a good 6 months trying to get directfb output working with mythtv to 
little success, 
Then i heard about libsoftmpeg finally implementing support for the matrox
has anyone got it working on the second head(tv encoder) ?

I'd love to know the sets they took to get it working
