This branch is based on revision 570 from the original mercurial repo. I've been told that this original repo will be closed soon, but the code will be available in this git repo in branch rev-620. Branch rev-570 is a checkout from rev-620 in the state it was when revision 570 was pushed. The sole purpose of this git repo is to make FFDECSA (via sasc's loopback interface) available for use with MythTV and such. You can use it with kernel version 3.x and up, including more recent kernels (3.7.x and up) dvbdev.h is included for all cases, so you don't have to set --dvb_dir=/path/to/your/kernel/sources anymore. It is still possible though. If you are running Debian, you don't need to recompile your kernel anymore, the running kernel will be properly patched. Just checkout the debian branch. USAGE: git clone https://github.com/bas-t/sasc.git cd sasc/contrib/sasc-ng git checkout stable ./configure <opts> make && make module If you know what FFDECSA optimisation is best for you, you can set it like: ./configure --compiletype=release --ffdecsa_mode=PARALLEL_128_SSE
