Hi Jim, The Balckmagic Card does not seem to have any hardware compression, for me that's a drawback, but if that's what you want it may be the right thing.
I want to avoid RAID 0 disks if I can. It appears to be supported by Linux in the GStreamer bad pluggins, it's called decklinksrc. There is another allied one called the DeckLink mini recorder also from Blackmagic PCIe for $145 it's on the same site, so you might like to have a look at that too. Blackmagic also provide a Linux SDK and some linux tools. If you can't find them I'll send you a link. I'm going to buy one for testing over the next month or so, so if you want to keep in touch, I'll let you know how it goes.

The KernelLabs drivers are only available to commercial buyers, not for personal use. The Blackmagic card you mentioned looks good. Do you know if that card captures in a raw uncompressed format? Also, do you know if it's supported by Linux?

I'm about to try the Blackmagic Design Intensity Pro for a bit under $200. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001CN9GEA Any othe hints welcomed. > Also, if this isn't the best place to ask for this > kind of thing, can someone then point me to a better place/website?
