In any event XawTV should be able to capture mpeg that you can convert later on with certain filters...
Check some projects out on freshmeat.net. Search under video4linux. You may find interesting thigs...

That card does work. I can watch TV through XawTV or Zapping, but I couldn't get
XawTV's captureing to work properly. Plus it doesn't seem to have very many
formats to save to (like DivX).

Quoting Ilija Stankovski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
The WinTV Go card should work fine under your version of Mandrake. The standard for capturing or TV tuning applications is is more or less XawTV ( www.bytesex.org). On this site you may find a lot of useful information on TV Tuner cards and capture devices. It should be trivial to set up. Kernel recompile or at least a module build may be required...

I have been trying to get video capture working on my box for a long
time now. I think I have tried just about every capture program on
freshmeat. However everything I try either won't install, won't work, or
won't work properly. All I want to do is capture some episodes that I
have on VHS, edit out the ads and save it as a compressed mpeg or divx,
and I would prefer an app with a nice GUI, because I am new to the video
world and I find it hard working with command line switches that I don't
understand. Does such an app exist for Linux? Does anyone have any
experience with video capture?
BTW I'm using Mandrake 9.0 with a Hauppage WinTV GO card. Maybe it's
just my card, should I get a better one?
Thanks,
Jesse
