The Osprey-100 and Osprey-200 use the BT878 chip which is well supported under linux (and used in many many cards!). Uncompressed recording from this card is well supported. However, I wouldn't call it perfect quality. It would be nice to have component video input (not just S-Video), a breakout box (since noise is a pain), etc. If you're just recording from VHS then the comb filter needs to be somewhere (and with the BT878 chip you could even do it in software!), but I'm considering purchasing a high quality VCR with TBC and stuff that outputs S-Video for VHS recording. Maybe it could be a tuner too... (anyone else have any recommendations?) For an uncompressed codec I whipped up a Huffyuv-like prediction compressor that helps: http://dumbterm.net/graphics/ and that's what my recording app uses. Wanna help? Of course I'm looking for help with my app, but there are lots of other recorder apps you could help with too. -- Billy Biggs vektor@xxxxxxxxxxxx
