Hi, > 1. Does anyone have good/bad feedback regarding the USB model? > 2. Does the USB model provide better/worse performance and/or quality? The working framerate is slow (8 fps). The maximum picture size is 320x240. The support for compression to get higher framerates is under development, but not really good working. On my Hauppauge the audio is plugged in via an extra cable to the soundcard, but this is a hardware aspect. Bye Joerg Heckenbach
