[NBLUG/talk] Video 4 Linux -- works!

[Mark Street]

kino can interface directly with your /dev/video0 interface.  Look in prefs 
for V4L and activate it, you should be able to view, change channels and 
capture programs from kino.

The native editing formats are AVI and DV(Type 1 and Type 2) I haven't done it 
with a TV card.

I have used it with my Canon ZR60 MiniDV recorder (Firewire) without a hitch.  
I just suck it off the ZR60 onto the drive and go to town.
