Possible to use TV-Card's hardware encoder?

Postby DJ_VLC » 10 Mar 2009 12:12

Hi!
I Have a Hauppauge WinTV 1300. It has a build in hardware mpeg 2 encoder which I can see in the hardware manager of windows (called "88x MPEG Encoder"). Is it possible that VLC uses this encoder to stream a camera video over ethernet? My CPU has only 1 GHz ant therefore it is a little bit slow.

If the camera outputs MPEG2 directly and VLC can read it, VLC doesn't need to reencode, so yes.
