I would like to be able to archive some of my old video tapes by converting them to MPEG and burning them on CD-ROM.
As far as I know, Linux Media Labs (http://www.linuxmedialabs.com/) is the only manufacturer which supports video processing on Linux. I would also like to convert my old video tapes to MPEG (probably SVCD). Unfortunately, cards supporting compression are a bit expensive and the one without compression requires faster computer than I have at home now. I tried to do it with the cheap Hauppauge WinTV card but my 550 MHz PIII was too slow to capture both sound and video in good quality. -- A.M.
