Looking for some hardware

[storkus at storkus.com]

This may be a stupid question, buy why ATI and NVidia?  If vidcap is
what
you want, why not go with people who specialize in that sort of thing
like
Hauppauge (the WinTV series and friends, which mostly work well with
V4Lx)
or those Linux-specific cards? (Which I can't find the link to right
this
minute...)
