Marc Sorry, I answered in a hurry in between two other things. apt-file is a tool you have you to install separately, it's useful for searching what package a file belongs to even if the package isn't installed. Given the messages you get you definitely need the firmware package firmware-ivtv. Installing ivtv-tools is probably a good idea, it will let you access and set some options on the card (talk to the card from the command line). As usual man ivtv-tools is a good starting point.

ARTSd is dead is KDE SC 4. KDE SC 4 does include Phonon, a common API or A/V manipulations, but it does not have a daemon component. Phonon will simply talk to PulseAudio, JACK, ALSA, or OSS--however you configure it. I'm not entirely sure what the defaults are, but it is designed to cleanly fallback when (e.g.) PulseAudio is missing, even if it was present last time you started KDE SC 4.

First off, I'm a video editing newbie. Not a linux newbie. I've been running Debian since Bo. I have a lot of video tapes lying around and I am afraid they will degrade over time. Also, since they are not making tapes any more (or VCRs?) I expect it will be difficult to repair my two VCRs when they start to die on me. So I want to convert my analog tapes to digital files while I can and write them out to DVD. When I mentioned this to a friend, he pulled out a WinTV card, using a Hauppauge PVR-250. Are there drivers for this in the standard kernel tree, or do I need to get them from somewhere? Also, what is the best capture and editing software for a newbie with minimal needs. No flame wars, please. I know that Cinelerra is available, but I don't know what else there is, or how easy they are to use. For now all I really need to do is capture the analog signal from a VCR and save it to a file. Then I want to edit out the commercials, possibly combine multiple files, and then save the resulting file to a dvd iso that can be mounted directly and played back, or written to a dvd.

Marc Shapiro Hi, for video editing I'm using Kdenlive. He has option for firewire, screen grab, video4linux and of course input from hdd. You can make your own rendering template, modified his or just use his. If you wont edit video there are time-line for video and audio, project monitor, record monitor, clip monitor etc. You can find lots audio and video effect, title editor, dvd wizard etc. This is how he looks http://dobosevic.com/nix/kdenlive.png -- Bye, Goran Dobosevic Hrvatski: www.dobosevic.com English: www.dobosevic.com/en/ Registered Linux User #503414 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

As per this doc: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Hauppauge_PVR-250 The card seems to be supported under v4l drivers that come with modern stock kernels.

Cinelerra and Kdenlive are more complete (like Adobe Premiere). Avidemux and LiVES could be another option.
