RE: BT848 Broken?

I got the tools from the tools from the BTTV home page at
http://www.thp.Uni-Koeln.DE/~rjkm/linux/bttv.html

The main one I got was the standard bttv distribution, though you need to be
careful with that. It includes its own drivers and they are different to the
ones in the kernel. I think Alan Cox has taken over control of these drivers
as they are more compatible with the video4linux stuff.

I am also working on my own capturing program if you are interested, though
it currently only captures single images (late last night).
