The biggest thing is if your capture card is supported by linux. Generally the best support is for the conexant and bt848 chips. You have to first find out if there is a driver for your card. Search for your cards make and try to find out what chip it uses, then look for linux drivers for said chip. Once you have that Id reccommend a simple capture program to test it, if it works then you can go on and use the editing packages. I have a bt848 chip and it captures everything jsut great (it captures at higher resultions and with fewer dropped frames then on any M$ system i have used). -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
