[fsck] Re: Video capture cards

[Alyssa and Chris Gordon & Family]

I got two HD cards at circuit city since they were going out of business and they were cheap.  I put them in my PC and a spare hard drive and installed mythbuntu.  The setup probably would have worked great but since the cards are HD I had to do a little bit of manual configuring to get them to work.  It was all well documented, but I ended up deciding that I'd need to spend too much on other hardware (I think my PC would have trouble keeping up with digital signal and that's all I will get after the digital transition) and too much time (like I said the standard setup took care of most of it, but it didn't automatically recognize my HD card), but all my research pointed to it being a solid solution.  Plus someone at work uses it (with analog) and has had success. Chris PS - If you are interested in the digital cards (one or both) let me know. Clayton Davis wrote: Dr. Thatcher- I have some experience with these. What kind of signal are you trying to capture, i.e. digital cable, analog cable or over the air HD? I have extra capture cards at home if you need one. -Clayton Davis On Thu, Mar 26, 2009 at 2:48 PM, Scott Thatcher <thatc...@truman.edu> wrote: I'm wondering if anyone on the list has experience using video capture cards with Linux.  I've been playing around setting up a desktop box at home as a MythTV server, and I'd like to experiment with wideo capture.  For now, I dont' think I need a tuner, remotes, or anything fancy (but if you have something fancy that you like, I'd be interested in that too). Thanks in advance for any information you have!
