The L100 has a USB port doesn't it? If it does, I was looking at some USB video capture devices from Pinnacle, Hauppage and Belkin among others (for a desktop, finally decided it wasn't a good idea for a desktop for a variety of reasons) ... they seem pretty reasonable, the Pinnacle multimedia one has had more reviews than the others, the primary problem with all of them though is that they have delays (USB isn't fast enough for raw video so the devices compress on the way in and your computer decompresses) so sound and video get a fraction of a second out of sync. Devices like the Belkin USB-TV converter do both sound and video so it suffers a bit from framerate but at least its all in sync. Problem is unlike the other devices it has no on-board tuner, as far as I know only the Hauppage PVCR (sp?) has both a tuner and delays audio and video so they stay in sync. Hope this helps! - Raymond ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- Reply to any of the list messages.
