[mpeg2] MPEG2 Encoder - Creative labs Video blaster Digital VCR (CT5882)

["Kevin Fowlks" <kamka@760mp.com>]

Hello, All

I recently discovered the Creative labs Video blaster Digital VCR (CT5882).
This card appears to have the NEC MPEG2 video encoder LSI model
number (NEC UPD61050 ) or some variant of the above. I've looked
everywhere and I can't seem to find any resource about this component.
I was wonder if anyone had seen any information on this chip?
If so could someone pass this information my way.
Also for those interested, I'm goanna create an info page about this card.
The card supports hardware MPEG2 encoding and decoding concurrently.
It also has a TV tuner which is very important for me.
Also what made this card stand out was the fact that you can get it
for about $86 USD from online vendors.

Check this page out for some tech specs about the card.

Also , I'm willing to supply this card to a willing linux developer
so we can get working on a linux driver.

Thanks,

Kevin
