I want to add a video capture card to my system, and would prefer to get one that is Linux compatible (while I don't mind that much booting back to Windows to work, I'd rather do that as little as possible). I'm sure some of you have them and was hoping that you could recommend some. I'm not incredibly opposed to an integrated display card and capture card, so please recommend either if you have them. Ideally, it should have both composite and S-VHS input so that it can accommodate both my laserdisc and video camera for inputs. tia ---Michael

I have a Pinnacle DC10+ card which is pretty old these days (not to mention analogue only). It has both composite and S-VHS input, and works well under my 2.4.20 self built kernel. There are issues with this card and the kernel/packages in SuSE-8.1, but these might have been fixed in 8.2. -- "...our desktop is falling behind stability-wise and feature wise to KDE ...when I went to Mexico in December to the facility where we launched gnome, they had all switched to KDE3." - Miguel de Icaza, March 2003

Thanks for the info. Yours is the only reply I've had, so I guess there really aren't any cards that work well with Linux. I'd hoped to be able to do this without crossbooting back to Window$, but if I can't I can't. Ah, well...maybe in time.

You shouldn't make that assumption based on a limited response from one list. Multimedia is a tricky thing on Linux, and video capture and manipulation is the cutting edge of it. That doesn't mean it's not possible, it just means that not many currently do it. You need to do more research. :o) I know that several of the firewire digital capture devices work under Linux, although from your original post that's maybe not what what you want. The analogue capture card market is fading fast, AFAICS, because all modern video equipment is now digital. My friend has a digital capture card with analogue inputs, but that particular one isn't Linux compatible. I like my DC10+ because it has hardware compression and a mature set of Linux tools. It may have been around for a few years, but it's still an option. They currently cost about 130 pounds in the UK, and probably less in the US. -- "...our desktop is falling behind stability-wise and feature wise to KDE ...when I went to Mexico in December to the facility where we launched gnome, they had all switched to KDE3." - Miguel de Icaza, March 2003

Ditto to what he said -- have you reviewed the "video4linux" site yet? The name of the webserver is rather ominous, but it is the 'de facto' source for /analog/ information: http://www.exploits.org/v4l/ There is also a list similar to this one (footer from that list, obviously you would probably rather subscribe than un-subscribe ;) )

On the digital side, I believe the pages for "kino" and "dvgrab" supply the equivalent of the v4l site. - -- Yet another Blog: http://osnut.homelinux.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) Comment: http://osnut.homelinux.net/TomEmerson.asc iD8DBQE+tLBTV/YHUqq2SwsRArUGAKCRUS1hJG95l6Fx+ADa4U3JFLMQIgCeNWvD zXRCa+fQfRb7EnDGnGbhdX4= =LUoY -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

I use an Hauppauge model 401. I am not sure if it is still in production as I haven't seen one in a while. At work, I have a machine with the Hauppauge model 190 and it works also. Both of these use the BT878 chip, as I understand it some of the newer Hauppauge cards are using different chips and that support isn't built into the kernel but is available with patches. I would do a little googling and check out the v4l sites. It would have the best information. -- Kelly L. Fulks Home Account

I have an AverMedia TV Capture 98. It has aerial conection (TV), S-Video, Composite in/out, Audio in/out, and remote. Everything works in linux, except the remote, that I haven't bothered to try. I suppose audio is stereo. As for making videos on disk, I still haven't got it really working. It claims to capture to mpeg I/II in windows, but I don't really know if it does that in hardware or software. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

Thanks much. I'll give that card a look. ---Michael
