Hauppauge PVR 250 in FC3

[Guy Fraser]

Thank you.

I will check it out. I will try to build the driver from the tar
ball and see if I have better success.

I was wanting to use VLC or VLS to convert my VHS collection to
MPEGs and then put them on DVDs or VCDs. I have an ATI Radeon 
8500 DV in my XP box, but ATI has microcode on the card that 
detects Macrovision copy protection on VHS tapes and will not 
allow me to record from most of my newer VHS tapes. I could not 
get the Hauppauge card to detect in XP either so it may be a 
bad card, or somehow the ATI card is causing the detection to 
fail.
