My experience is that most video capture devices are used for Home |
| 14 |
Theater PC's, I've found the most information on the MythTV website. |
| 15 |
You can check out the documentation on hardware at this link: |

I use the Plextor ConvertX, you will find it mentioned under the "USB |
| 19 |
Capture Devices" heading on the webpage above, with a link to the |
| 20 |
website that has the open source linux driver. This unit is nice |
| 21 |
because all of the video encoding happens on the device, so I am able |
| 22 |
to capture video with my ConvertX connected to a 400MHz Pentium 2 |
| 23 |
gentoo box. Now the driver is available through portage. |

See if you can get either the PX-M402U or the PX-TV402U in Chile. I |
| 26 |
do not think the PX-AV100U or the PX-TV100U will work with the open |
| 27 |
source linux driver. |
