Does anyone here have any experience of digitising analogue video in linux? I am looking for advice on what capture card (mid-range e.g. Pinnacle DC10plus) to use and possibly a tv tuner card.
In particular, if anyone does use a DC10plus I'd be very interested to make contact as I'd like to see one in use if possible.
As Adrian said, we used to use winTV cards about 4 years ago, the ones without tuners were very cheap (about £25 from CPC) and the quality was VHS like.. Adrian is doing image procesing, so video quality is of top priority, but for the average person the winTV cards (and similar) will do all you want...
Also can anyone comment on the current state of play with ATI graphic cards and linux? Some of their cards seem to do all that I want but...
it depends on what ATI graphics cards you are thinking of.. a few years ago ATI refused to release the spec of their cards, and some of them don't work too well.. best to check with the Xfree86.org people
