  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).
