[snip] I'm a v4l newbie, and I never did get it working with RH7.1 and my no-name bt878 card (part of a $29 video email kit from Cyber- tainment, who no longer seems to exist). However, I just did a fresh install of RH7.2, and guess what? Other than default settings for Europe (PAL, etc) it works out of the box. It looks like it supports all 3 video inputs too. Now if I could just figure out where to set the defaults for xawtv to NTSC... I'm not sure about which devices 7.2 creates or other software (like I said, I'm a newbie to this stuff) but it seems to work a whole lot better than before. [Shameless plug]: I have no affiliation with these guys, but they're my favorite discount hardware vendor (and they may still have some of these $29 kits left): http://www.compgeeks.com [end shameless plug] HTH, Steve ************************************************************* Steve Arnold http://arnolds.dhs.org Java is for staying up late while you program in Python...
