Christoph,

yes, FXTV can record to disk
(although in all these years maintaining the bktr driver, i've
never actually done this!)

Does your VCR output NTSC for NTSC tapes, or does it
convert NTSC to PAL and output PAL?

If the VCR outputs PAL (even for NTSC tapes) just use FXTV
as normal.

If the VCR outputs NTSC for NTSC tapes, you need a Hauppauge
card with a Bt878 chip on. (not an 848). the 878 cards can
grab both PAL and NTSC video formats from the
composite video in.
It can only grab PAL via the tuner.



Roger
