Video Capture, TV tuner devices
I'm looking into getting a video capture of TV Tuner device for my PC. Does anyone have any experience with Plextor ConvertX PVR devices? They are usb and that makes me a little shy in the purchase of one. My other choice would be eVGA's NVTV, but I'm not sure if it will work will FreeBSD. I'm using 5.3. -- Rod If you stay the same long enough you'll be in style some day again.

AFAICT, the only video driver in the kernel is the 'bktr' driver, which supports cards based on the bt848/bt848a/bt849a/bt878/bt879 chipset. See paragraph 7.5 of the Handbook. Roland -- R.F.

I have found a Linux site that has an entire list of cards supported by the Linux Brooktree driver and was not sure if that would apply to FreeBSD, not sure if the FreeBSD driver is based on the linux work. -- Rod If you stay the same long enough you'll be in style some day again.

The FreeBSD bktr man page should be of help: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=bktrsektion=4manpath=FreeBSD+5.3-RELEASE I have an AverMedia PCI card that works great.
