The brands that seems most suitable considering XFree86 support etc.. is ATI & Matrox. But other suggestions is welcomed. Does the video capture device of video-in capable cards look like any other pci device, thus allowing use of ordinary drivers like matrox(4) or bktr(4) ..? (agp spec hints at this) What I want to be able to do is to capture video (from Tv,Vcr etc..), feed it to an video encoder (like mencoder) and save it to harddisc in realtime. Possible rencoding for higher compression that can't be done in realtime. And all this under freebsd.. ;) /Peter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
