Hi,

My RSS feed turned up this gem and I thought it might be of interest to AG
developers (who are probably all already aware of the news, but hey you
never know)...

multiple input capture card with a GPL Video4Linux licensed
driver[3]<http://linux.slashdot.org/story/10/06/17/1929230/Bluecherry-Releases-GPLd-MPEG-4-Driver>.
Earlier this year, Ben Collins added H.264
support[4]<https://github.com/bluecherrydvr/solo6x10/commit/7fac80bba138d2e0d01f76c6a7eb7174409ec5a7>into
the solo6x10 Video4Linux2 GPL driver. The H.264 PCIe cards are finally
released
and shipping to
customers[5]<http://www.bluecherrydvr.com/2011/05/multi-input-h-264-linux-supported-encoder-cards/>.
The new cards support faster frame rates and sport a PCIe interface. The
driver is available for forkin' on
Github[6]<https://github.com/bluecherrydvr/solo6x10>
