mhh, was it not an hardware handicap on the fullfeatured cards, that
the cannot provide a untouched TS, which leaded to that format?

if mplayer plays back on such a card, which dafaformat is sent to
the card?

my thinking is: mplayer converts it to a hardware-playable format in
realtime, so it should (imho) also be possible to write that stream to
a file, in then read it (with no convertion overhead) back in...

where i am wrong here?
