I'm a bit confused if you're talking about the SCSI card or the BUZ
card :)

Video card with a SCSI controller? Hmmm, never heard of such a
beast.

Which means steering clear of the cheap TV tuner capture cards
(actually the Brooktree 8x8 can do CCIR-601 format but the linux
drivers do not make that available from what I've seen).

It's been a while since I've had a chance to make my Canopus pitch :)
Best bang for the $ in my opinion is a $40 (or less) IEEE1394 card
and a Canopus ADVC-100 (analog to DV converter) for $250 or so.
There are cheaper units out there (the Datavideo was mentioned as
working well) but A/V sync and conversion quality vary - the Canopus
has consistently been mentioned as being the best consumer unit around.
If your motherboard has an onboard IEEE1394 port then you don't need
an addin card.

Hmmm, I hope VIA has gotten better at making chipsets than they were
years ago (once bitten, twice shy). I've never heard of any
motherboard having issues with a IEEE1394 card. Another nice
thing about having one of those cards installed is that you can use
the external firewire discs.
