<br><br>I know I need a DVD-RW, and Linux should be able to handle that.<br><br>My question is, what kind(s) of video card with video input will work with<br>Linux?<br><br>And 2 side questions<br>- how much memory do I need to be able to do this?
<br>- is there anything else I need?<br><br>A video card that works with Windows2000 would also do, but I'd just as soon<br>use Linux.<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Charlie<br>------------------------------</blockquote><div><br>
</div><br></div>The only reason I keep an XP partition on this computer is for capturing video with my ATI AIW Radeon 7500. I understand some people have gotten this card to work properly with linux, I'm not one of them. Though I was mostly trying to get the TV tuner working using GATOS
<a href="http://gatos.sourceforge.net/">http://gatos.sourceforge.net/</a> . The card works great in Windows, but only fair in linux. But it's also many years old now.<br><br>Dave<br><><
