Thanks, Bryan. My MDK 9.0 machine is now a dual-boot with Win XP Pro. Having found drivers for Win 2K/XP for this card, I am going to install it today, get both O/S's running the card, and see what I can do in MDK to find the apps I need. I am glad to hear that you didn't have to do any weird dances or mumble obscene incantations to get the Bt card to work. 'Easy' can be a good things, sometimes. ;-)

I am still on Mandrake 8.1, but I did not need to do anything special to view my camcorder on KWinTV. I would say this program is OK for creating video clips if you don't need sound. I have only been able to record silent video clips with KWinTV, despite the presence of a "video + audio" option. KWinTV cannot be used for video editing as far as I know. *************************************************** Powered by SuSE Linux 8.0 Professional KDE 3.0.0 KMail 1.4 This is a Microsoft-free computer Bryan S.
