Right, after a lot more googling etc I might have found my solution. The |
30 |
number of capture cards available here in Chile is limited. I can't find any |
31 |
of the cards mentioned sofar, Hauppauge for example is no where to be found |
32 |
in Chile. The most widely available cards seem to be from Pinnacle. The |
33 |
Pinnacle Dazzle DVC-90, according to the documentation with the kernel works |
34 |
with the video4linux em28xx driver. |
35 |
I thought I should ask before I go buy it if anybody has experience with the |
36 |
card, or have I just volunteered to be the guinea pig :-) |
