1. Cash Converters in Hereford St have a DSE video capture card. I know
these work in linux, cos I have one. The don't have a tuner, just
composite video or s-video in. $55,, about half of DSE's price.


hint modprobe bttv card=13, autoload=0. if someone has module parameters
that work better, let me know.





IIRC it needs I2C configured otherwise it takes 5 minutes to modprobe @ 100%
processos usage. (I2C is used for teletex???)

The below redhat /etc/modules.conf options are adapted from
http://www.pcquest.com/content/linux/handson/101091501.asp
I have used the same options in gentoo as well.

# i2c
alias char-major-89    i2c-dev
options i2c-core    i2c_debug=1
options i2c-algo-bit    bit_test=1
# bttv
alias char-major-81    videodev
alias char-major-81-0    bttv
options bttv        card=13
#options    bttv        card=2 radio=1
#options    tuner        debug=1




thanks Col I found modprobe bttv would take 5 minutes.

modprobe bttv card=13, autoload=0 takes considerably less, maybe 1 1/2
minutes. still a pain. it does result in i2c stuff being loaded, but
adding the stuff you suggest may speed it up.



Yeah, it's even more of a pain when it add's 5 minutes to your boot up time.
