The problem is that the capture card is a pci one. All the documentation I can find tells a lot about making udev links for usb devices - and that part of my rules works well - but little is said about pci devices. The card gets mapped to video0 or video1, and the symlink I'm trying to make needs to recognise the card by its details then map to whichever video* it connects to, so it must be dynamic. I wish I could find some documentation the dealt more with pci and udev. Anne
