Question just for my known as I am looking to use low end hardware and a 
450 is right in the range that I can get free systems at.  So at 320x240 
you are able to capture 320x240.  Are there any jerking or other 
problems with the stream.  Also can you do live tv aka recording and 
playing at that level or not.
