Yes I did find it useful - thanks for posting your solution in such detail!<br><br>I imagine that there are more people out there who could use help with this issue; however, it is still not clear to me what the cause of the problem is. In other words, why can some users simply load the drivers for their devices in /etc/modules and have them show up in the same order every time, and others get a random behavior.
<br><br>But because the problem tends to manifest itself simply as one or more of the capture cards suddenly ceasing to function, it can be a frustrating issue to track down and fix. Perhaps an addition to the "Video capture card" wiki page is warranted (as that would be one of the first places a user might land in trying to troubleshoot his/her setup?
