[wellylug] Video Catpure device in Linux

[Chris Hodgetts]

so normally it would take the audio and video from the tuner and combine 
them together - currently under Linux I need a separate audio tuner?

The machine, if I do get one, it was going into was a
Pentium III - 500mhz machine, (from /proc/cpuinfo - 448.058)

If the encoding is done in Software then his box will not be fast enough 
to do real-time encoding will it? or does it do MPEG4 encoding 
real-time, but 1 and 2 in software?
