too much to offer any advice. Sorry.<br></blockquote><div><br>Just one possibility, would be nice for this setup but not an absolute responsibility. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

You probably want a TV capture device (card or USB) that is compatible<br>
with MythTV to do what you want.<br></blockquote><div><br>Yes have one Hauppauge PVR 150 Hardware Encoding, not a prob here. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

If this video and audio are being created on a PC, you should be able to<br>
directly record it with software on the machine itself like<br>

or<br>
ffmpeg<br>

I think those tools are fine for recording presentations, but not for TV<br>
or movie-like content.<br>
<br></blockquote><div>Will try it again may be ffmpeg might work out.<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

As to the S-Video out, that will have to come from the video card on<br>
the source.<br></blockquote><div><br>Yes it is coming form the source. I am thinking of purchasing <a href="http://www.amazon.com/TiVo-TCD649080-80-Hour-Digital-Recorder/dp/B000ER5G58/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top">http://www.amazon.com/TiVo-TCD649080-80-Hour-Digital-Recorder/dp/B000ER5G58/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top</a><br>
<br>Only concern is, once recording sits on the TIVO, (yes it is ethernet enabled) how to rsync it to the HTPC upstairs so I can play on the BigTV. Can Linux see the files on the TIVO device ?<br><br>This is another device <b><a href="http://atlanta.craigslist.org/eat/ele/2398078352.html">http://atlanta.craigslist.org/eat/ele/2398078352.html</a> without svideo in. So thinking what to do.</b><br>
