I recently purchased a Diamond VC500 video capture device that runs on the USB. It has some interesting issues under Windoze, but I was wondering: I did a google for video catpreu and linux and most of what I found either said it can't be done or the software that did/does it is obsolete. Can anyone point me in a better direction (and which way)? Thanks. mhr

Depends on what your needs are, sounds like you just want to record basic TV-style inputs. nate

You will need the CentOSPlus kernel since the stock kernel does not have the IEEE1394 modules built.> > Thanks. > > mhr > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > >-- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 Deepwoods Software -- Download the Model Railroad System http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Binaries for Linux and MS-Windows heller at deepsoft.com -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ModelRailroadSystem/
