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?
