Ah, OK, that I have loaded on both my machine that supports X-Video as well as the machine that says it doesn't so I think that's not it.
Thanks for the idea though. One fellow from another list said that X-Video support is a function of the actually graphics adapter chip a machine has. That makes sense to me. However the machine I'm having trouble with is using an onboard (I think) Intel 82865G graphics chip. I'm not sure that I'm usign the right driver for it, or possibly there are some other things that have to be loaded to make it work. Anyway, as always, thanks for your help. BTW - have you tried nuvexport? I built it this morning. nuvinfo gives reasonable data but numexport wouldn't run for me. I wanted to convert the Myth recorded files to mpeg to see how they work.
