I've had a number of problems trying to use this card and have at least worked around most of them, but there's still something odd I've found: It appears to take longer to capture video using this card when the video is poor quality. Capturing video straight off of a TV channel or a newly recorded VHS tape gives a solid 30 FPS; capturing video off of a bad generation tape results in lots and lots of skipped frames. It's as if the computer can't keep up with trying to compress the bad video, even though I'm capturing uncompressed. Do frames get compressed internally even if you capture uncompressed? Also, I can't get v4l2 to compile, so I'm using the first v4l. The problem is I'm on Mandrake 9, which has incompatible headers.
