[QUOTE="htpc2good4u, post: 20979"] Wow...this thread is old...thought there would be a whole lot more chatter about the X-Card.... But yeah...I was looking into trying to get captured video from my ATI TV Wonder VE to the X-Card about a year ago. I found out that I could do it by using a DirectShow graph connecting the TV Wonder to a MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 encoder, then pass it through to the X-Card. It's not too difficult. But the hard part would be getting the MediaPortal window out to the x-card. But this could be done using a DirectShow filter that captures the screen, then send that to an encoder filter, and back out to the X-Card. But that also raises issues with playing DVD's. Because the MediaPortal window would already be using the X-Card to decode it, the DVD video would have to be decoded using software, then encoded with the screen data and sent back out to the X-Card...or maybe use the overlay filter to combine the two streams...but it would still require a software decoder (which the DScaler 5 MPEG2 decoder is coming along rather well.) Another possibility is the NetStream 2000 driver for Linux. I have heard rumors that it has support for the X-Card. Someone could port the driver over to Windows and then it could be directly integrated with MediaPortal (without having to use the drivers from Sigma.) Oh yeah, I have used JovePlayer (which is the ancient version of TVedia)...it's a nice app...but doesn't have nearly the same level of customization as MediaPortal. If anyone has comments on what I have said, please feel free to tell me...I might even see if I can squeeze im time to develop a plugin to work with the XCard... :lol: [/QUOTE]
