Support for Software Encoders
Written by DMAN, on 05-02-2006

We are now ready to add 'software encoding' cards into the DVR-MS recording and timeshifting engine.

Please read this thread here for the details...

Forum thread

Notes:

1. You'll need a Pentium 4 2.8Ghz equivalent or faster processor.

2. You'll need a TV card which provides a PVR application and hence provides MPEG-2 encoders to be installed.

3. Control over the Encoders cannot be done at this time within MediaPortal. Set the quality with your supplied PVR application - you should only have to do this once.

I don not belive you need a 2.8 GHz... not if you have a AMD64 rig, annyway, as these are more efficient per MHz

No, ignorant one. 
They are usualy not faster than 2.8GHz... only the FX and som Opterons are...

Hence my commet 'most'. A 2.8GHz P4 was tested and produced acceptable results - anyhting below that was unacceptable. I didn't say they were clocked faster now did I. Since you have confirmed that 'most' AMD 64's are faster :) then you should get away with a AMD Athlon 64 3400+ or better. But let the processor do the talking...

Ensure the Pinnacle Media Center Software v3.4 is installed on the system and is not running.
