Questions & Comments

Before anyone asks...

1. Does not work with Windows7.

2. One brave soul built a DVR with WindowsXP and this card. His directions are here: http://bit.ly/8Yzykk

3. Free shipping in the US. (I mail USPS First Class Mail with Delivery Confirmation.)

4. Free shipping to Canada, but there will be no tracking. I will only save the receipt as proof of mailing. Expect to wait two weeks for it to clear customs.

5. I can ship internationally, but the winner must pay any remainder via PayPal. I will cover shipping at $0.01 for every point of the winning bid. i.e. winning bid of 300, then I will pay $3.00 of the shipping and the winner will pay the remainder to me via PayPal. If the bids are more than the shipping cost, then you will have free shipping. You can compute shipping at www.usps.com - this will probably be an international first class parcel weighing 12oz.

If I used this on Ubuntu linux would I be able to stream via justin.tv or the likes from the AV output of a videogame console? Since its to my understanding this is linux only pretty much?

I don't know what software you would need... (I have a friend who uses VLC directly from an HD video camera to any number of clients, but that is a bit different than streaming onto the Internet. He actually uses a Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, ... )

This card would allow you to capture the video output, but you could probably use any number of video tuners that are out there. You might want to research what other folks are doing what you want to do.
