As noone has answered my question, yet, I wonder if my question's too 
stupid, my question's not clear enough or it is just too hard to answer, 
because it's theoratically possible, but noone has ever managed to make 
it work.

My video-grabber's a Pinnacle DC-30+. I know, if I could use the 
video-input, there wasn't a problem with the hardware MPEG-Encoder. So, 
just too be a little more precise, is there a way to get access to the 
hardware encoder _not_ using the video-in-connectors?

Or - to put it the other way around - can I add a video-output from the 
tuner (or somewhere else) of my "Typhoon" TV-Card? It's chipset is a 
bt879khf 25879-12. I can't figure out, what tuner's been used.

Thanks for your help!
