All the bt848-based cards works through bktr(4), with composite

Some time ago, when I looked into something similar, all the supported
cards that I found could only record incomming video at 1/2 res max.
Whether this is a limitation of the bt848 chipset, I didnt bother to
verify.
what do you mean by 1/2 res?
the bt8x8 (also conexant fusion 878) chips can capture full resolution
NTSC (640x480) or PAL (768x576).
By half res, I mean 360x240.
It must have only been a limitation of the various cards I could find
info on.
I should perhaps clarify that this limitation only applied to the video
input from the external video connectors, not to the tuner output, which
could be recorded at full resolution on all the cards I looked at.
That may not have been clear from my use of the term 'incomming video'.
Could you perhaps point me at cards which you know can capture at full
res from an external input? If I can get a card, I'd quite like to
resurect this project. I've already been through the list of cards in
the man page, but it seemed to be a little old when I looked a while
ago.
