When I mentioned this to a friend, he pulled out a WinTV card, using a
Hauppauge PVR-250. Are there drivers for this in the standard kernel
tree, or do I need to get them from somewhere?
As per this doc:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Hauppauge_PVR-250
The card seems to be supported under "v4l" drivers that come with modern
stock kernels.
Thanks, that's good to know.
Also, what is the best capture and editing software for a newbie with
minimal needs. No flame wars, please. I know that Cinelerra is
available, but I don't know what else there is, or how easy they are to
use. For now all I really need to do is capture the analog signal from
a VCR and save it to a file. Then I want to edit out the commercials,
possibly combine multiple files, and then save the resulting file to a
dvd iso that can be mounted directly and played back, or written to a
dvd.

I had seen this site before, then forgot about it. Thanks for posting
the link.
PiTiVi, OpenShot and Kino are the easy-ones (in the line of Windows Movie
Maker).
I'll give PiTiVi and Kino a shot as soon as I get the card installed.
Is OpenShot a Debian package? I couldn't find it.
Cinelerra and Kdenlive are more complete (like Adobe Premiere).
I thought Cinelerra was overkill. I can always install it later if I
decide I need more control and functionality. Since I avoid KDE (I keep
things simple with FVWM2) Kdenlive would be a last resort.
Avidemux and LiVES could be another option.
Thanks, again. Now I have someplace to start my experimenting.
