        CPIA based capture devices are supported, I think one or two others
might be. 

        One thing to understand here is that a USB capture device / tuner is
going to offer you substantially lower quality video than a PCI card. So
unless USB is the only way, look for something else. USB = 7 megs per
second. NTSC video at 30fps = 34 megs per second. Think about it.
