Looking to buy a video capture card, maybe with a tv tuner (but as I get all my tv thru sky digi it seems a little pointless to get the latter).
Been looking at the DSE site. The options appear to be: DSE PCI card part xh6594 $97.00. according to the instructions this is an avermedia ezcapture card which seems to be supported under linux. It is a bt848 or bt 878 chip. TView TV Tuner Capture Card part XH6591$107. Not sure if this is supported under linux? It has a tuner as well as capture. From there onwards they get more expensive. What worries me a little is this warning on _all_ the dse advertised cards: "Please Note: nVidia chipset based video cards such as GeForce 2, GeForce 3 and TNT do not support overlay mode which is used extensively by this card . As a result of this issue, Dick Smith Electronics do not recommend using this card with an nVidia chipset based video card." I saw a thread on nz.comp recently suggesting that this was crap. So really i am looking fo recommendations & war stories about any of these cards with nvidia and/or linux. As it'll go in a dual booter, I guess winblows stories will be relevant too (to me anyway :-) http://www.dse.co.nz/cgi-bin/dse.storefront/3c7e93a607901b44273fc0a87f990722/Product/View/XH6594 -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Solicitor, PO Box 25-275, Christchurch, NZ ph +64-3-3798966 fax +64-3-3798853 http://www.rout.co.nz
