[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 708960, member: 82144"] Hi cryptoplasm No - completely incorrect. Including a software encoder would require us to license said encoder from someone like ATI, Cyberlink, Intervideo, Mainconcept etc. That would be *very* costly - something we can't afford as an open source project. Most users with analog tuners that require software encoders receive software encoders in the software packages or drivers provided by their tuner manufacturers. In those cases, tuner manufacturers commonly license the encoders from Cyberlink (Twinhan), Mainconcept (Hauppauge) etc. Users that do not receive encoders from their tuner manufacturer can use some of the methods described at the start of this thread to "acquire" an encoder... So once again, short answer: no. Having said that, there are several important TV Server improvements for tuners with software encoders in 1.2.0b. I would *highly* recommend updating when 1.2.0b is released in ~3 weeks time. If you're adverse to trying beta versions then you will have to wait for 1.2.0... [/QUOTE]
