I can certainly do the hardware mod if the format's are compatible.
Is the encode format of the DVD drive compatible with the format that the parallel HDTV port on a conexant 878A chip is looking for? If so, it may be possible to run the DVD drive right into the capture card, shut down any software DVD functions,and then... run Dscaler algorithms on the DVD's data...and use it instead of all the software devices that are not getting us the PQ we are looking for. I realize that the sound function is not there, but, is anyone interested, specifically the Dscaler development team?
After all, most of the software is already in place.
After all, this is the next step, you see....create our own scaler functions.
Now, is this a possible thing, or is this not worth the trouble?
I also fully realize that such a thing begins to border on the single box solution, with a multi-pronged attack for PQ problems. Too bad about the sound being a problem due to licensing. The remote fucntion would ahve to be put in place. After all, the cards all seem to come with a remote.
Too bad it will probably never happen due to the fact that it is too close to the commercial interests. Oh well.
