Just a comment from the outfield ... I think this is the area that can allow or disallow multi-input video capture cards (e.g. the Winnov Videum 4400 which we use) to work - which Matt Thorpe solved with a patch to the registry (I'm talking Windows XP here, of course). Just a request that some mechanism (setupvideo.py or registry hack) still allows this sort of card to work under AG 2.2, as we don't anticipate moving to inSors software, so can't use the 'inSors patch'. I'd heard that what Matt had worked out for AG 2.1.2 didn't work in AG 2.2; I think that comment was from Cindy.
