I have been experimenting with fxtv and the bktr driver. I captured 30 minutes of video, raw format took aproximately 7gigs fo drive space, compressed to MPEG-1 it takes up aproximately 95megs. It took 2 hours to encode if I remember correctly. This is without audio, mind you. This was done with a Hauppauge WinTV model 401 on a Celeron 400/128M ram system with an IBM 20G UDMA33 HDD. -- -Jason J.
