It should also work with NTSC formats, i.e. 29.9 and 30 fps. There had
been some trouble with older drivers, but the latest ones can play
more formats. You would need an NTSC capable TV, though.

If you are using the DVB API than this should not only work on the DVB
cards, but also on other cards using the API. I will test it with the
Margi PCMCIA DVD card tomorrow. The Margi even supports more MPEG
formats, as does the EM8400, but we can't publish those drivers
(stupid NDA).
