[linux-dvb] AW: AW: Re: recording of PAL signals

["Gerhard Andreas (RtW1/WIR1)" <Andreas.Gerhard2@de.bosch.com>]

Hello Carsten,

sorry, but although the Philips SAA7113 is an encoder, it is not a
MPEG2-encoder as needed for DVB-similar recordings. This chipset has been
around ever since I got my ASUS3400TNT/TV and simply encodes analogue
TV-input to digital monitor-output. It is not able to compress the video
signal. To compress the recorded signal you would have to use a software
codec (MJPEG, HuffYUV,...) in the capture program. Or encode it later on
with a software MPEG2-encoder (eg TMPEG) or hardware encoder-board. Then you
could "maybe" play it via a DVBs.

@Gerhard
For analogue recordings directly into MPEG2 the only solution I know is the
Hauppauge PVR. According to de.comp.tv+video with the latest drivers it
actually works.
For more knowledge about analogue recordings check http://www.dvdboard.de in
the video forums. They have been discussing this for about 2 years now.

best,
Andreas

Hi Axel,
I guess you are not right. ;-)

In Windows I can watch analog programs the same way like digital ones:
within a window, full screen or composite out (not yet tested) etc. With the
newest Siemens DVB software version 1.61 I can even record analog programs
although the quality is bad.

There is an encoder chip from Philips on the analog module (If I'm not wrong
it's a SAA7113 - 9-bit video input processor). As far as I know there is
currently only support for Brooktree/Conexant (analog) TV chipsets available
but not for Philips.

Regards,
Carsten.

if i´m right is this only  a tuner for watching analouge Signals at the
TV-Output - but the card don´t have a encoder chipset - so you are not able
to record this !
