I am looking for a VIDEO to MPEG compression hardware with the following characteristics: 1) allow MPEG compressed output to be read by user written software through an API for further processing (no need to store MPEG output to disk, but software needs to send it through communication interfaces). 2) allow control of resolution and compression rate by user written software via API Basically, I need a HW MPEG compression hardware that can be interfaced to via API to read the compressed data. Does anyone know such a board?

Matrox had a wonderful display of MPEG hardware at SIGGRAPH this year. You may want to GO GRVENB and check out the Matrox section (#16), also posting a question to them for further, detailed assistance. Janet Matey (Marketing Manager, Video Products Group) is the lady we talked to in August. The work they were doing was most impressive.
