Hi Ewen, Yes there is a package called Broadcast 2000, and as usual it is free and open source. The site is broken at the moment, but I have a copy of the software. I'm trying to get around with it as well. I need to buy a DV capture card compatible supported under Linux. I know that all the OHCI from Texas instruments and most of the firewire work. Except some of the cards that come with Sony Vaio. If you want a copy and want to try to install it, I'll put a copy on my site so that you can download it.(posted 8472 days ago)All the best, Fidel.
