Yep, did that and got it working, thanks.
However, it generates a whopping ~800MB per *minute* (so ~48GB per hour). Even with a post-process transcode, that's a whopper.
I'm going to send it back and try something with a guaranteed hardware encoder. The PCI Adaptec VideOh (AVC-2010) looks a likely candidate (ivtv support from several years ago), and is currently only £18. Has both s-video & composite, plus audio, and no other bells or whistles, which (presuming it works) will suit me fine.
I have a TBS DVB-T HD dual tuner for the normal stuff, FWIW, and that appears to be great (only tested via vlc at this point).
