What chips does it use ? The integrated MPEG 1/2 encoder will not be supported. If you can find one the a (much cheaper) Pinnacle/Miro PCTV card will do you nicely.

Certainly it would be nice to have support for some of these hardware codecs. -- C:>WIN | Directable Mirrors The computer obeys and wins. |A Better Way To Focus The Sun You lose and Bill collects. | licenses available - see: | http://www.sohara.org/
