Issues and Problems
When using RTjpeg as software video encoder there is a problem when exporting a recording to DVD format. The audio and video get out of sync after some time. Mostly seen on recordings of about 2 hours.

Installation guides
The card should be automatically detected when you have a recent kernel (did tests on 2.6.21). The only thing missing then is the audio channel. You do NOT need the small audio cable loop between the video card and your sound card ! You need to load the following module to have MythTV capture audio directly from the card itself:

Without this, I was not able to change channels in MythTV neither. The cause was because the audio driver failed to initialize. To load this automatically at startup, add it to /etc/modules (no extra options needed if only one card is present).

User Experiences
If you have this card, speak up! This is a good place to note your experiences - ease of install, what you like, what's not to like, etc.
The card works great, but you have to use MPEG-4 as software video codec and put the bitrate on 6000 or something like that. As it is a software encoder, pay attention that you need a decent CPU !
