Many All-in-Wonder (and I think some of the VIVO cards) included software to do real-time MPEG-1 encoding. AFAIK none of them actually included support in the chip for hardware MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 encoding. Unless I'm mistaken, of course (which I may be), and that's what I think he is referring to (like having the BT878 DMA into an offscreen region of video RAM, then have a hardware MPEG encoder encode from the offscreen video mem, and pull the encoded MPEG frames down from the card...). Of course, if I'm correct, and the MPEG encoding is done in software anyway, his point is moot.
