HOWTO
News:

CVS is back up.  New modules have been added.

The site is going to get a major overhaul in the coming days/weeks, keep an eye out.


The goal is to bring support for video capture, tv out and dvd playback to Linux. The primary focus will be with Matrox products, but as the project grows, so will the supported hardware. The Marvel, Rainbow Runner, TV Tuner and DVD module are all prime targets. 

First order of business will be the DVD support, because we have docs and its the coolest. Also on this site, there is very pre-alpha work being done for the MJPEG encoder found on the Matrox Marvel and Rainbow Runner. Its in cvs, module mgavideo. It is the same chipset found on the LM33 module, so a lot of the driver can be reused. 

I need lots of help. If you want to contribute, please contact me.

CVS: 

CVS is now back up.  There are several modules available. 

css-auth - css disk unlocking code.
mgavideo - support for Marvel and Rainbow runner.
nist - software playback application.
ac3dec - ac3 audio decoder. 

For bash: export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.on.openprojects.net:/cvs/livid Type 'cvs login' (Press enter for password), then 'cvs -z3 co -P module_name' 

All code is released under the GPL. 


These are the docs for the Zoran 37610 chipset. They were acquired legally, so don't panic. This chipset is found on the DVD Upgrade Card and a stand alone PCI adapter.
