Frank,

I have moved all equipment to a windows set up for now and the linux box 
is disconnected for the moment, so I'll have to get back to you on the 
details of this box later on.

It seems when i move up the bitrate quite a bit the "rythm" dissapears. 
I guess the value is dependent on machine speed etc.

The linux box is a 166 MHz machine with 64Mb RAM. Intel motherboard (not 
sure which model, but no via chipset), so this is not top of the line, 
but encoding has worked fine.

I'm a bit surprised that apparently signal strength is pretty important 
for the card to synchronize properly to the video signal.

It might be a huge timesaver for the less experienced user when all the 
different parameters which the card supports were explained somewhere.

Something like if you change parameter x you can expect the image to do 
this, or if your video looks like this you might try changing parameter y.

The basis parameters are pretyy clear, but the more obscure parameters 
really need an explanation.

Thanks for your help so far.

Marcel
