[fedora linux] hi, i am looking for recommendations for a usb video capture card.
i basically want to take co-ax input coming from a cable digital converter box and save the content (mpeg, avi, mkv, ...).

any ideas ?,

most of the ones i see say windows only so i dont want to chance wasting money and time on something that will never work in linux.

Last I checked it works with earlier kernels, and you need a patch to get it working.
