Brian,
Sorry my reply was not very clear. I did indeed try what you said. It
makes no difference.
What I was trying to explain was what I had done prior to your email. I
then tried what you said EXACTLY and it changed my capture cards in myth
from /dev/video0 to /dev/v4l/video0 but they are just symlinked and the same
thing.
Thanks
Malcolm
