I think the only card supported by the zoran driver, you still get as new, is the Linux Media Labs LML10. I think that all other cards have been withdrawn.

The only disadvantage I know is that you cannot specify the quality you want to record. You always get the same amount of data. The solution you get very easy is a FireWire converter for your analog signal to DV. (Like the Canopus devices, Steven has mentioned many times) And use kino to record your videos. auf hoffentlich bald, Berni the Chaos of Woodquarter Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gz/bernhard ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
