I'm no Win95 fan (quite the I am not a Win95 fan and I don't mind comparing two different implementations which I did in my case thats all. It appears that Hauppauge has implemented the "overlay" capability in their driver. "overlay" in this case is direct dma transfer . Intel got lazy and didn't implement this feature in their driver actually they only implemented yuv9 and rgb24. Have fun, Amancio
