this datastream allready is an mpg2 or h.264 stream.
so there is no need for &quot;encoding&quot; <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile&nbsp; &nbsp; :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />

most analog cards however have an chip on the board which encode the analog signal into a mpg2 stream.
some very cheap and crappy analog cards come without that and require that the CPU does this encoding in realtime.
that requires a CPU of AT LEAST 2.4GHz. NEVER EVER CONSIDER THAT <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink&nbsp; &nbsp; ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />DEcodingh.264 playback requires quite some CPU power (i.e. 1080p - 1920x1080).
&quot;latest Video (grafic) Cards&quot; offer the possibility to take that load from the CPU and do the de-coding.
but thats still a nightmare to get it working because of neverending driver and codec problems....</blockquote>
