Oh yes! Thanks for kicking me in the right direction! This sounds nice. I  
have
only 2 questions.

1) This is streaming procedure, that means that encoded video is streamed  
into
   acces module in the fastest possible speed. But I need to have frame  
timing
   just like when playing file localy. Is it possible to set this up  
somehow or
   have I to write the waiting for the right moment to send it into access  
moddule?

2) Well, I can write codec module for DV, and acces module for Firewire,  
but what
   about muxing? DV codec works differently. It encodes both video and  
audio at
   the same time into one DV stream. Post multiplexing into a container is  
possible,
   but this stream (AVIDV Type 2) is useless when I want to send it into  
firewire.
   I need to encode only video and then send it to access module (and  
firewire) as
   is without muxing. I've tried the "raw" multiplexer, but it seems to me  
that it
   isn't just "raw".  Seems that it has it's header (always same) and maybe  
both
   streams (a/v) are there. Is writing own mux module (that will throw  
audio away
   and send really RAW stream) and plaing soud localy the only way how to  
reach
   this??

Thanx a lot for your help.
