Does your VCR output NTSC for NTSC tapes, or does it convert NTSC to PAL and output PAL? If the VCR outputs PAL (even for NTSC tapes) just use FXTV as normal. If the VCR outputs NTSC for NTSC tapes, you need a Hauppauge card with a Bt878 chip on. (not an 848). the 878 cards can grab both PAL and NTSC video formats from the composite video in. It can only grab PAL via the tuner. Roger To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
