    Just wondering if any of you who play around with Linux happn to know of software that using the NVideo VIVO to capture video? I have an old box with an AGP MSI Geforce4 TI-4600 that has VIVO abilities. Would be nice to use that to pull in my old VCR videos and some overflow on my TiVo. Any ideas of supporting software or even something that runs under Wine?

      I heard something about MythTV. Is that what you are looking for? (I don't use Linux)

        I have used mythtv for nearly 5 years and I highly recommend it. I did start on the nvidia VIVO but moved to a hauppage pvr 250 and 150. These are hardware mpeg2 encoders which solve several problems with recording audio and video separate... The following statistics are taken from the web interface:

        Number of shows:
        181
        Number of episodes:
        2243
        First recording:
        Sunday May 30th, 2004
        Last recording:
        Wednesday April 29th, 2009
        Total Running Time:
        4 years 10 months 30 days 1 hr 50 mins
        Total Recorded:
        3 months 14 days 15 hrs 43 mins
        Percent of time spent recording:
        5%

              I could not find anything about VIVO for input on their site. From what I could see, it would require a TV Tuner card of some kind to work. What NVida VIVO card did you use?

                I think it was this one: http://uk.shopping.com/xPF-Visiontek-Xtasy-Everything[^] This was quite a long time ago when I used that. Basically if the chip that does the frame grabbing is supported by v4l under linux the card should work with mythtv. This should be some help on what works or does not. http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page[^]

                  This is probably a better link for supported cards / frame grabbers. http://rivatv.sourceforge.net/status.html[^]
