Actually I was not trying to connect any
video-camera. I was just trying to probe the
functioning of the video card. In Windows, that
card is used to collect a video signal coming
from the tv (the card has a tune-in port) and a
proprietary software from Marvel saves that
signal in files. I was just hoping I could do the same in dyne.

I see.

Oh. I didn't imagine.

>However, we are hoping on a fix ASAP.

Well. After so many bad news I admit your hope to
fix things ASAP doesn't make me feel better ;-)

And since we're at it, may I ask you why you hope
to fix thing ASAP ? Probably you know something I don't.

I mean, the driver for the card is there ! Is it
crippled ? If it's not I don't see why it shouldn't be working !

Am I wrong ?

Well, thanks for your care, anyhow
Bye
