I tried an early version of John's driver, which worked well. I had initially bought the card with an eye towards a MythTV box, but never got MythTV to work with it. This has been awhile ago. Currently I am using it in a security project also, but with the included Win2k software. I am able to record for usually between 1 and 2 hours before the machine will bluescreen with various errors (probably attributable to Windows). > > Cheers > > Tim > > -- > Tim Aslat <tim@spyderweb.com.au> > Spyderweb Consulting > http://www.spyderweb.com.au > Phone: +61 0401088479 > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-multimedia > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "freebsd-multimedia-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
