Thanks, that would be great! I'm preparing to install the 2.6.19 kernel on the capture computer, it's a bit slow so it takes quite a while. After doing so I'll eagerly test it out and, should it fail, post the ivtv init message and apply patches. _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
