Hi, Besides other searching, I came across your list archives. I've seen mention of both Hauppauge and Avermedia cards, but still got some questions: Would you say the Avermedia "works" in Linux (once you get the setup correct)? Do you know if it might even be detected/setup by Redhat (7.3)? Is Avermedia a decent card compared to Hauppauge? I ask because newegg has Avermedia AverTV cards for $41, compared to Hauppauge $99 (I just want to back up my VHS collection in a decent quality). I infer that this card uses the BTTV drivers? Thanks for your time! -- Justin K
