[<Yigal>] Looks good, but my problem remains the same - I am not going
to spend money again - so I will have to keep the XP. The main problem
is the capture of analog video (I think DV devices connect directly to
USB or FW) - and this is the case where the OS is tested. Once I have to
use XP to capture - I better stay and edit the video there.
I wonder: if you buy that device- how can you be sure that it will work
with the so many Linux flavors and with the future ones to come?
